The aussie made 1956 customline got a 3 speed auto. the first of what is called a FMX i think. just that it's smaller than the falcon FMX. from what i can work out. there is 4 sizes with a cast iron case from 1951 that were made.
I think the zephyr MK III got a 3 speed auto. the first of the borg warner 35's called a DG B/W.
I have info on the aussie made 1963 wolseley. it came with a B/W 35 it has only L & D not L S D on the stick like some falcon XR falcons. and maybe XP?
In a test it saying, if ya pull the shifter back to 1st it will go into 1st at 8 MPH and no higher. then if ya hold it flat in 1st and if you wont to get 2ed you have to pull the selector back to L and it will hold 2ed.
The 1963 fairlane only had a 2 speed auto. and the falcon only got the 3 sp auto in the 1965 XP. and the ford galaixe got the 3sp C6 in 1966 i think. and holden's 1st 3 sp auto was in the 1960 EJ to 1964 EH then only 2speeds until the traumatic 3sp auto 1970 HG.
Anyone know more about this stuff.
