1965 904 Transmission Normal Operation?
Can'y verify accuracy, but here it is from Wiki:
In 1968, part-throttle downshift functionality was added to A-904 transmissions used with 6-cylinder engines. This feature permitted the transmission to shift from third to second gear in response to moderate accelerator pressure. Previously, an automatic 3-2 downshift occurred only if the driver pushed the accelerator to the floor. This change was made to maintain acceptable in-town performance with taller final-drive ratios in the rear axle — 2.76:1 rear axle gears were being furnished in applications previously equipped with 2.93:1 or 3.23:1 gearsets. Part-throttle downshift functionality was extended to V8 A-904s in 1969, and to most A-727 transmissions in 1970 to 1971.
I have driven my parent's new 1971 Road Runner and I own a '65 Signet Convetilble and '65 Formula S all automatics. I tend to agree with the Wiki article based on my personal experience.
