Kickdown switch under the pedal works great. I've also manually shifted into 1st then shifted into drive. In a nutshell, the last shift I get is well before 55mph.

I have a parts and technical breakdown for the 722.1 and it appears the 3 speed does in fact exist. (I titled the thread wrong with the wrong tranny designation. Hit the wrong key and just went on typing.)
