Slipping lockup on a 240? 200 1993

Jared,

My 93, 245 has an auto with a button, forward of the shift lever, which is labled, lock out shift over ride. I haven't had this on the road due to a growling rear end. So I'm not too sure how it works. Seems to me that the tranny will lock (fuel economy ??) in top gear. I would guess if you need the tranny to be more responsive (hills, towing, performance driving) you would press the button to eliminate the lock up.

Hope this helps....
