![]() ![]() But as theatrical windows have shortened from three months to frequently closer to 45 days, and streaming-only releases have sometimes lacked the buzz generated by moviegoing, Netflix and the chains finally found common ground. It seems unthinkable that AMC did not give you the ability to kick down to "passing gear" as we kids used to call it.Up until now, those chains have largely refused to program Netflix releases. You may have to lengthen (or shorten) the tv adjustment to get past the detent at full throttle. COM was the same as FOM except COM used a D1 and D2 range so you could have either first gear or second gear start the same as AMCs F-O-M. Ford added Cruise O Matic to their line in 1958. Ford O Matics had a single D range and of course an L range. ![]() The second gear start feature seems odd but early Ford O Matics did the same thing except if you floored the throttle from a dead stop it would force the FOM to start in first gear. I'm sure the TSM will provide the answer. It seems to me that since your car uses a throttle cable that there must be a cable adjustment and possibly a "detent" at the very end of travel at full throttle. Got a lot of seat time in both of those cars though I was not of driving age until 1965. IIRC that too started out in first gear when the D1 button was used. Previously they had a 62 Rambler Classic 6 cylinder with the push button F-O-M. It too started out in first gear when in D1 range. It was a 327 2 barrel with Flash O Matic. One of my best friends parents bought a brand new 66 Ambassador 990 2 door hardtop. Studebaker used the BW trans in the Avanti and according to Ross Peterson, (401Matcoupe), the Stude also uses a second gear start. Both transmissions are the BW-M11 but the valve bodies are different between the F-O-M and SC. With Shift Command you do not get automatic upshifts when in "2" range. You get first gear start in D1 range and second gear start in D2 range, but in either range you get automatic upshifts to top gear. My 67 DPL hardtop with Flash O Matic (column shift) works the same way but has a different quadrant arrangement, with a D2 range and a D1 range and L. I know for certain that the Shift Command (floor shift) in my 67 Ambassador convertible did start in first gear when in "D" and had the electric kickdown switch on the throttle linkage under the hood. The second gear start in D "feature" must have been in it's last, or next to last, model year. (Taken rightĪfter I got the car.much neater under the hood now ) Well as the tab which depresses the switch, on the throttle assemblyīehind the valve cover to the right of the air cleaner. In this pic you can see the hole the switch goes in, as Think I got it from Blaser), and eat the shipping to me and to you as I'd provide a copy of my receipt showing price (I ![]() I'd be willing to let it go for purchase price (which wasn't cheap, I have a NOS throttle assembly switch w/parts card, stillīagged, that I purchased about 30 minutes before I found a used one. Pedal, after '67 but not sure of the year. ![]() On some of the later models, the switch was moved to the accelerator It is wired to the solenoid which activates the kickdown. On the throttle assembly, there'sĪ paddle which depresses a kickdown (momentary) switch when you floor the pedal. The maleĮnd of a shovel connector is exposed. Switch would be under the hood on the accelerator rod linkage if there is one on a '65.Įlectric kickdown solenoid is in the front left of the trans if it isn't a cable model. ![]()
