4-speed, or 5?
I have a '91 Ext. 4.0 with the automatic tranny. This has been bothering me for some time...but do I have a 4 speed or 5 speed transmission? (Including OD)
I can shift it from 1st to 2nd, then put it in 'D' and it shifts to 3rd, and at around 47-50mph, it will shift again, and drop another 700-1000 RPM...plus, I still have OD
This is just a nussiance I have been wondering about for some time now

The last "shift" on my '89 is the TC locking. Since I have the 4.10 rear axle, it locks at about 40 MPH at light throttle.
I didn't know that the '97 has the 5R55E. Something new every day

Assuming that no-one did a switcheroo on you, you can look on the drivers door jam tag and find out. There will be a spot marked Axle with a code:
Here are the codes:
Code Ratio
Conventional
22 4.10
23 3.45
24 3.73
25 3.27
26 3.55
Traction-Lok
B2 4.10
B4 3.73
B9 3.55

I could have sworn I read somewhere that the 5 speed auto was offered starting in 95...any ideas?
