Hey all,
Just bought an 85 442, great body, rust free. Has an Olds golden rocket 350 in it. Problem is it seems to only have 3 gears. When I shift into drive, from Overdrive, it does downshift. When you take off in regular drove, there is only 2 gears...I don't have the shift **** and while looking for one, I see that there seems to be a button on the passenger side of the ****....is this an OD button 9or am I way off base here? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

I had a similar problem when I purchased a 1984 Buick Grand National from a dealer in 1986. It turned out that the previous owner had replaced the 200R4 with a 350 TurboHydramatic (no overdrive feature). First make sure that isn't the case here.
