Re: 65 3 on the tree with over drive ?'s

jlee223 it is non-syncro. 1st is too low to reach the 25-30mph required to shift into OD. The governor (25-30mph) regulates the solenoid which allows OD to engage when you momentarily let off the gas. You shift to 2nd, get upto 30mph, let off gas for 1/2 a second and it shifts "automatically" into 2 1/2. If you shift to 3rd from 2 1/2 it will be in OD or 3 1/2. I mounted my kickdown (down shift out of OD) toggle on the dash.
