Good morning all,

I have just recently noticed something with my 84GL auto, i THINK, i'm not
sure yet, that hoppy is not shifting into 4th gear. when i am at a dead stop
and take off i can only hear/feel 1 brrrrrrrrrr 2 brrrrrrrrrrrrr 3
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and i never hear the 4th gear kick in...i am
traveling on the highways just fine.. some times even cruising above 55mph.
although now that i think about it ... when i take my foot off the gas i
seem to slow me down really quick...am i crazy or is 4th gear just really
smooth and quiet?  haha... its not slipping...i just cant hear it and i cant
hear my engine over the road noise so i cant tell if my RMP's are way to
high...

A) is there a way to check if all 4 gears are in use (with out tearing in to
anything and with my limited knowledge)
B) if this in fact IS occurring, could this be why i am getting such
HORRIBLE highway fuel economy?
C) should i be super worried?

asking questions about the transmission is like finding a lump on you body
somewhere and being afraid to go to the doctor for fear of what the
prognosis will be...
i am worried now....great.

thanks in advance
