Bertimus - I will share what works for me: drive your Reatta in Drive not Overdrive!! Think about it ... GM added an overdrive which works great at saving fuel when driven at 55 - 60 mph over great distances. That should be the only time that we use OD, the rest of the time the Reatta was designed and engineered to operate in Drive!
I could be wrong (I often am wrong according to my wife!) but most drive ability issues fade into the sunset when we use the transmission as designed!!
