Guys, thanks for the clarifications so far. So here is some more detail.
The gearshift indicator has the standard PRND21. What I was describing was starting out in Drive and accelerating and noting when I could feel the transmission shifting. So the gear the transmission starts out in from a dead stop I am calling 1st gear (unrelated to what is shown on the gear shift indicator). Then at about 15 MPH I can feel the transmission shift into what I am calling 2nd gear. Then at about 25 MPH I can feel it shift again into what I am calling 3rd gear. It stays in that gear all the way up to 60 MPH, around which I would think the transmission would shift into some kind of overdrive gear, if it has one. My concern is that if the tranny has some kind of overdrive gear that is supposed to kick in at highway speeds, and it isn't doing it, my gas mileage will suffer severely. But if it doesn't have one and only has the 3 gears I have described, it is operating normally.
Your thoughts?
