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...?

6!
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).

Snap!
But I have seven Low Ratio Gears though The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

I have 6, however as my car is German the sat nav knows only one direction, keeps telling me to go East at Blitzkreig pace............ Knowledge & Reason - the arch enemy of faith

Sorry - I made a mistake in my posting - it won't go into sixth (forward ) 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.
Thanks for the replies - especially the one with the speed/shifts
