I was talking with a friend about the two speed automatic I pulled out of the 1968 Cutlass I am parting out and a few questions popped up.

1. How common was a two speed automatic in 1968?

2. What does the wire on the driver's side do?

3. Is there any value in this transmission?

I have the transmission, torque converter, floor shifter and console.

Thanks
Tom

 

Tom, the 2 sped was common in 68 cars.

 

Very. All auto 350s got it. (TH350 came out in '69)
Kickdown. Works off a switch on the acc pedal assy.
Only as an anchor or conversation piece. There are a few rare drag racers that use 'em.
Console can be modded to work w/ 3 (& maybe 4) speed autos

 

Shiftworks sells a kit for both the three speed AT conversion and the four speed AT conversion of the stock console shifter.

 

150 lb x $.09/lb = $13.50

 

Thanks for all the input.

I have to admit, I know very little about the 67 and 68 I am currently parting out.

I'm still learning
Tom
