how to shift automatic
I just bought a 1966 mustang coup with a fully built motor. I was disapointed that it was auto beacuse i have been driving standard since I learned to drive. But my friend told me I can shift in this car like a standard. Its a c4 tranny with a 2800 stall converter. It has that cruise o matic thing. Now heres where i am stuck there are 3 gears on the tranny what i need to know is in what order do i use them. I know the first gear starts it out in 2 gear for ice and snow. And I know the middle gear with the green dot is fully auto mod. And I think the last gear is 1 because I an downshift by throwing the stick back. So in what order do i go to start from first to 3rd. I know I sound like an idiot but like I said i have not had much times with auto trannys.

Re: how to shift automatic
1st is all the back, 2nd is the middle, 3rd is the first gear.
Yes, fom 1st redline, 2nd redline, to 3rd.

Re: how to shift automatic
If its a reverse manual valve body then you will have Park, Reverse, Neutral, 1st, 2nd, 3rd. But more than likely your tranny has a regular forward shift non manual valve body so your gears starting from the top or closest to the dash will be Park, Reverse, Neutral, 3rd, 2nd, 1st.
