If it is the original 66 trans it probably is a "Green Dot" 3 speed. I have this exact trans.
If you put it in neutral and pull the shifter as far back without touching the button it will hit the detent for a1-2-3 shift. If you just put it in the "normal" drive position that we are all used to, just back from neutral,it will shift 2-3. So basicly there are 2 "Drive" positions.
I seriously doubt you got to 100 mph in "second gear" so try the above and see if that solves the problem.

im not sure if it was in second gear, but i certainly hit 100, plus it was redlining (or atleast sounded like it) so im pretty sure it was second...and what an experience that was =D

because it is a 3-speed w/overdrive
A C4 transmission does not have an "overdrive". Third gear is your final drive gear and it is a 1:1 ratio.
As the others have stated...

Where is this logic coming from?

Did you try this?
