Eric...I believe the Hydra-Matic was used in 64-67 by Olds which would have been a D,1,2,...and in 68 with the Body Change and when the 455 cu.in was available in the 442's they Used a 400 Trans...D,1,2,3 or known as the 4spd automatic....the Engines in the Early 442's were a 400 cu.in. 350hp V-8 64-67'.The 455 cu.in was Short Lived due to Government Concerns and After 72' were No Longer Available in the Cutlass or 442...unless it was Built in Canada...later in the 73-75 Hurst Olds the 455 resurfaced but much detuned:dude:..see the 442 Link below for Trans available in the 442's...

Remember the Olds 4-4-2?
400 cu.in., 4 speed*, 2 (dual) exhausts. Maybe GM could produce a special commemorative edition, equipped with a 3.8 litre V6, auto trans, and a nice big single pipe!
* Later changed to mean 4bbl carb when they realized they couldn't sell enough manual trans models. Oops!
Although........wasn't the automatic trans a 4-speed also........soecifically, a Hurst 4-speed?
