I don't know how to say it any plainer than I have already. This is an all original '59 Custom 300 with less than 30,00 miles with a 2 speed aluminum case automatic transmission. It only has 2 gears forward, no matter what position the shift lever is in. I am very familiar with the 3 speed Fordomatic that starts out in 2nd gear unless shifted down. It is refered to in the owners manual and the Motor Repair manual. I woild like to install the afore mentioned 3 speed Fordomatic if I had a good one. Thanks for all the suggestions. The AOD would be nice if it isn't too hard to adapt.
