Default Four Cylinder Operation
How did GM handle the vibration operating in 4 cyl mode without there being a torque converter to fool with?

I don't believe that anyone would think that intentionally slipping clutches is a good idea, especially for "fuel economy".

While GM has improved the AFM system over the years, I'd do everything I could to make sure it never activated. Durability of that system is a canned good without the label.
