It says in the manual that the fourth gear is overdrive. But I have counted many, many times, and its definitely got 4 gears and fifth being overdrive. I count the shifts, and it shifts into o/d (5th) at 46, leaving it at about 1300 rpm.
Are you sure that you are not counting the torque converter locking up as a gear. I had a friend whos parents Grand Am had a 3 spd and he swore it was 4 for the same reason.
