Not exactly what it says. Read the following.

At full throttle, yes. In this instance, 3rd gear is called "passing gear".
At light throttle, 3-4 shift should occur under 30 miles per hour.

If you have your own trans problem, you should start a new thread in the proper forum.

The (2 speed) "Jetaway", referenced in your "64 manual, is the Buick designed ST300 which was used behind the 330 in the F-85/Cutlass.
The Hydramatic (4-S) used, in '63, in the F-85/Cutlass, was a 4 speed, and to my knowledge, was never called "Jetaway".

In the case of your '64, it was because the 330 and the 394 have totally different bell housing designs/bolt patterns, and the transmissions will not interchange.
In the case of his '63, it was because the 215 and the 394 have totally different bell housing designs/bolt patterns, and the transmissions will not interchange.

As were all "Jetaways" in '56, and all "Hydramatics" from '57 to '64.
