Pends on which way you are stuck lol. ON or Off? Not that big a difference. Might firm up your shifts.

comfort locks up at a lower speed and makes the shifts softer. Bad for the clutches.
The newer models without the switch are hard wired in "power"

Defiance is right. If you can, fix it and leave it on Power. Mpg difference is minimal if no zero (mine stays in power and I get 20 mpg highway). Shifts are a bit more firm, but they're consistant and easier on the clutches.

it just ups the shift points a couple hundred rpms and makes them firmer. TC locks up at 45 instead of 30-35.
