telriv Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 In 1964 when the 1st. TH400 came out the gear selector in the forward ranges had ONLY Low & Drive. It was still a 3speed TH400 but you had no control over second gear. IF, for instance, you were doing 30MPH & slipped into low it would hold second gear, as if descending a hill, until you slowed & reached approx. 20MPH then it would shift into 1st. gear. You had NO control over this. For 1965 it was changed, among other things, with a forward gear selector that read D-L2-L1. If you slipped it into L2 it would stay there until you actually made a shift to L1 or drive. Good for descending hills using engine braking & NOT go into 1st. at 20MPH. There were other things built in that I won't get into now. Tom T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
