Number of gears in low ratio

Hello,

How many gears should I have in low ratio on an auto box? Mine won't go into 5th - therefore I assume there isn't one - or it's broken...?

Thanks

6! Shocked Shocked

There's something wrong there...

I often use manual over-ride low box. Were you going "quick" enough? It changes down as you slow, even on manual over-ride, as low as 3 (not 2 or 1).

Sorry - I made a mistake in my posting - it won't go into sixth (forward Wink) gear - it will go into 5th. I'll head out later and try and see if I can get a higher speed up - but it def won't go into sixth in command shift. Confused

Thanks for the replies - especially the one with the speed/shifts

Why would you need to get to nearly 60MPH in low range ? Shocked
