Best Answer

Just drive the car in overdrive at all times unless there is reason to lock it out of over drive.

Good Reasons:
  • Slippery conditions

  • Heavy load or towing

  • Long steep hill where the car is shifting gears many times.

1970 Monte Carlo ss 454 what shows if it is a real one?

The best way to verify if the car is an actual SS model is to find a copy of the build sheet. I found mine between the springs and the foam of the drivers seat. I have heard there may be another build sheet on top of the gas tank, but that is obviously harder to reach. Most SS models will have a factory tachometer, an automatic leveling compressor under the hood with air shcks in the rear, bucket seats, and a console shifter.
