A 1989 244 with automatic has a rear differential ratio of 3.73 -- a rather low ratio. Overdrive converts that to a more reasonable cruising ratio. My guess is the former owner never experienced it going into overdrive -- although, except for increased noise and more gas consumption, the engine can run at highway speeds all day even without overdrive. -- Dave
