The 4 spd shifts into 4th well before 55 mph typically. I say approaching zero because I've been on this forum for 10 yrs and never heard of a 3 spd auto in a 123 diesel. It's far more likely that you are either missing first gear for some reason. (can you tell the difference between the gear it usually starts in and the gear it starts in when you shift it into 1st?--the difference should be substantial) or you are getting stacked shifts and it's doing 3rd and 4th together.
