Don't you flip the cover of the shift knob for that? :iono:

Automatic or manual transmission?

He said auto in the original post. In that era a lot of cars had a button to switch the transmission programming between "Economy" with earlier upshifting and lower RPMs and "Sport" with later upshifting and quicker downshifting to keep the RPMs up. A lot of cars had a button to lock out the overdrive top gear in Drive, too.
