I would simply put a manual tune on and unplug the TCU to get it locked in 3rd on an AW4. Then put the shifter in 3 and power the appropriate solenoids... the one problem you are going to run into is the tq. You can't simply lock it because you will likely damage the lockup clutch at low rpms high torque, but leaving it alone will negate the point of forcing it to stay in 3rd.
Thanks! Just let me know. I'm booked out a minimum of 2 weeks now. But give me some notice and what you want and we can get it planned out before you go.
That scares the crap out of me. We are under contract for our new house in Texas and we need the equity from our Colorado home to qualify for the new house. We are stressed about that.
In Texas, if you sign your name to the contract, you bought yourself a house, Son...it doesn't matter if you don't like your interest rate, lender, or the color of the rugs - the house is yours. They take your signature very seriously (as they should).
In Colorado, the law gives the buyer all of the power in the transaction. They can pull-out and withdraw their offer at any time prior to them signing their name at the closing without any financial penalty. That's BS! Because not only does it waste everyone's time and energy, but it pulls your house off of the market and jeopardizes other purchases you're trying to make. The State needs to revise this policy, because it's not equal risk.
You need a more aggressive broker to alter the terms of the standard RE commission contract -- you can contract to anything you want, and if the buyer wants your house bad enough, they'll agree! Just because the Colo. REC form says it in boilerplate, doesn't mean you can't change it!

Chris, I need to buy you a beer and figure out how to do that before we get an offer. When you say broker, are you referring to the broker that my selling agent represents? Perhaps I need to have a conversation with my agent before an offer hits the table.
There are so many moving parts with this transaction that we do not have time to deal with flaky, inconsiderate assess that do not value other people's time.
Tell your agent that, having been burned once, you want to have hard earnest money sooner rather than later -- shrink their diligence period. The worst your buyer can do is say no, and then you decide how important it is to you. If it is currently a seller's market, you can be demanding on the buyers as to what you want, and how little time they have to look/investigate. You are correct that the standard forms are very buyer friendly, but every single provision is negotiable, every single one.
Found out Monday morning that the low back and groin pain I've been having wasn't an angry pocket midget pinching my left nut.... it is in fact a 12-14mm kidney stone.
Increased pain and piss that looked like diluted Cherry Coke sent me to the ER from work.
Today I find out how the Urologist is gonna deal with it.

We required $2500 in earnest money for our house and gave them 2 days after the contract was signed to drop that check off to the title company. The first guy came up with some BS excuse that he got in a car wreck on his way to drop the check off, and needed an extension on the deadline. I granted him one, and figured everything was cool.
I get a call a week and a half later notifying me that his earnest check bounced. He came up with another excuse saying his checking account got hacked, and they drained his account. So he wanted more time to come up with the money. In the mean time, he had missed his home inspection deadline which he also asked for an extension on. I had enough of his crap, so we terminated the contract. Typically if the buyer flakes or isn't holding up their end of the deal, you can keep that earnest money for wasting your time and taking your house off the market. But the fact that the money was never there to begin with....it wasn't worth it to me to try and get it from him.
And I'm in the same boat. I need my equity out of this house to purchase the new one, so I'm a little on edge trying to make sure everything goes to plan. I don't think I've ever been this stressed.....
