I had a factory 3 speed 1970 Road Runner. The transmission was very crude. I sold it when I got my 300F and gave the buyer a 4 speed to put in it. They sold very few of them, it was just a trick to keep the base price down.

I do know that people back in the 1950s and 1960s would only tow trailers with stick shift cars.

Very good question given the new 3 speed was under development while they were shoe-horning in the Pont-du-croissant and the excuse given for its use. Why not the T-10 then?

My hunch is the A745 was built for use behind V8 engines, likely in trucks where 1st gear synchro is not necessary.

Depends on who you ask. It was a non-synchro first gear box. I’d rather have the A466.
