That's your kickdown and switch-pitch switch.

It may be listed in the transmission section.

hi guys,as i said before,the answer is out there..thanks to you guys once again,because i did not see a picture of this switch in the shop manual,but sure enough they talk about it.one's a detent sol.and the other one is stator control switch.forgive me as i am not familiar with this.did only the olds have this?.that means that the 400 has a switch pitch converter!.as i said before,i have a 200r4 that i am planning for this car.am learning a lot on this forum and thanks again...paul

Yes, it has a switch pitch.

Buick used the switch pitch set too, but had a completely different looking switch/controller.

If I had a switch pitch T400 I'd be looking at a Gear Venders OD to bolt onto it. Those switch pitch converters are cool, I loved the one that was in my ST300.

thanks guys,will be interesting to drive this car with this setup.i never had one like this.obviously if i change conv.or put 200r4 in,this switch is no longer useful.is this tranny rare? i think they only made this setup for 2 yrs?thanks..paul
