creases further to below 8 M.P.H., the trans-
mission shifts to low and stays in low regard-
less of car speed.
(5) Kickdown (forced downshift). Below
those speeds for the 3-2 and 3-1 kickdown limits
shown in Shift Pattern Summary Chart (after
the transmission has upshifted into direct or
second gear), the transmission will automati-
cally downshift to the next lowest gear when
the accelerator is completely depressed; there-
by giving maximum acceleration for passing
or climbing steep grades. The transmission will
automatically upshift to second if the accelera-
tor is released or speeds shown in Shift Pattern
Summary Chart (wide open throttle 1-2 up-
shift) are reached. In D (drive) range from
second gear, the transmission will automatical-
ly upshift into direct if the accelerator is par-
tially released or if speeds as shown in Shift
Pattern Summary Chart (wide open throttle
2-3 upshift) are reached. If the vehicle is accel-
erated with the 2 (second) button engaged to
wide open throttle upshift speed, an upshift to
direct will occur thus eliminating over-speeding
the engine in second gear.
(6) R (reverse). Stop the vehicle and with
foot brake lightly applied, push the R (reverse)
button in.
d. Mountain Driving
When driving in the mountains with either
heavy loads or when pulling trailers, the 2
(second) or 1 (low) position should be selected
on upgrades which require heavy throttle for

NOTE:
All shift speeds may vary somewhat due to production tolerances and rear axle ratio*
which is not too important, however, the quality of the shifts is very important.
All shifts should be smooth, responsive, and with no noticeable engine runaway.
