That is an HT740. The HT754CR has an extra gear bolted on the back of the transmission-of which this transmission pictured does not have.
Typically the normal shift pattern is- 1st converter, 2nd converter, 2nd torque converter lockup, 3rd locked up, 4th locked up. Good Luck, TomC
Ok. That explains why I thought I might have a 5 speed.
Thanks.

On my 3spd V730, I can make it feel like a 5spd. By pulling the shifter to 1st, I can get 1st gear lockup around 20mph with less than full throttle. So I get 1st converter, then 1st lockup. Then right before shifting into 2nd, I floor the gas pedal and the transmission drops back into converter shifting to 2nd, then a little later it will lock back up in 2nd.
I can get 1C, 1L, 2C, 2L, 3L-feeling like 5 gears from a 3spd! Good Luck, TomC

Stupid question alert!
Why does my 740 look different? This is a old picture but...

Can't tell-not enough of the transmission pictured.
