Shifter question.
04 SXT ATX on my shifter (P,R,N,D,3,1) what exactly do the 3 and 1 do? I thought at first they locked out overdrive but yet in both positions it goes through all 4 gears with a difference in the RPM shift points. Is that all its supposed to do?

You can leave it in 1, and it will shift through all the gears. It was called "Maximum Acceleration Mode" in the '94 Dodge Shadow owner's manual. IDK if there is a reference to in in the neon manuals.
The shift points will be delayed until the higher RPM's, but it should shift. Your rev limiter will keep things in check if it doesn't.
The Shadow didn't shift into 4th until ~85 mph, so don't try this in the city, or where you could crash, get a ticket, etc....
