jim mantle .... turbo glide has two planetaries and a direct drive .... how could it not be 3 speed .... low gearset was billed as GRADE RETARD for going downhill , hence the GR on the shift plate...

also had the twin convertor ....
my dad said its downfall was pumps inability to maintain enough pressure to keep slippage down so they were junk after 30-40,000 miles
