Was the Slim-Jim redesigned so extensively between '61 & '62 that the torque multiplication of the rotor became a separate stage or speed? What changed, engineering or marketing? Please shine some light on my misinterpretations.

Chuck- there are NINE different valve body revisions for 1961-64 Rotos, five in 1961-2 alone. They were constantly fiddling with them trying to make them shift better. That wildass 2-3 shift didn't set well with owners used to earlier transmissions. 2.9>1.5 is a pretty big drop- nearly akin to a 700R4, which often reminds me of a Slim Jim in some of the things it does.
Why the hell they didn't just go back to the Jetaway like Pontiac long wheelbase cars and Cadillac, I'll never know.
