Happy New Year Gals & Guys ~

A new to me 1980 244 with a BW55 transmission (3 speed Automatic).
I'm used to driving a 244 with a AW71 transmission (4 speed with overdrive).

The BW55 goes through its three gears, but it seems to want to go to fourth gear (which it does not have). Is this just the way it is? Is there anything I can adjust to give it more relaxation?
Same feeling as when I'm in the AW71 and the OD button is keeping her in lower gear (3rd).

Stay Warm,
Joseph in Snowy New Mexico.
