changing a 3 speed auto to a 4 speed auto overdrive

hi!!!
as you all can see that i have a few "automatic" 7s. ok hear it is... i have the 82 (with the back seat) 3 speed auto, and do a lot of hiway driving and the thing turns tooo many rpm's for me.... what i was wanting to know is...is the automatic overdrive tranny out of a 84-85,is the same as the second gen (86-88 ) that it mite fit the 82 that i have.. or will i need the 84-84 tranny instead...any ideas.....i have a couple extra 2nd gen autotrannys but no 1st gen overdrive trannys.... wat ya think???? thanx wam

i'll say it first! get a 5spd manual! you get sooooo much more out of the engine with a manual vs an automatic. if you're stuck on automatics, sorry... don't know what'll fit offhand.
