I agree. Most 87-88’s got the 4 speed. Especially the higher models like the Salon

I believe all 88's got the 2004R. I assumed a more loaded car and being a 87 makes a 2004R more likely. Probably still has 2.56 gears, maybe the optional 3.08's if lucky. Vinyl top? More likely to have hidden rot.
In 1987, LV2 (307) cars got MX0 (MW9) 200-4R transmission standard. MX1 was only available with the V6. Straight out of the 87 Oldsmobile dealership ordering guide.
If it's got a 307 from the factory, it has a 4 speed auto in it.
Which makes sense the 88 being the same car, was also only available with that drivetrain. Only difference is the V6 was no longer available.
Interesting, ive had several 87's in the past and more recently a buddy of mine had an 87 all factory 307 cars that had th200 3 speed autos originally. And the one my friend had was purchased from the original owner while he was was working at the dealership that sold it new.
Were they Salons? I'd like to see the documentation for it if so. Ordering info says MX0 is N.A. with LD5 while MX1 is N.A. with LV2. This is for SALON. Have no idea on Supreme, as I never looked that up.
They were all supremes. Sorry I miss took your statement as all 87 cutlass didnt realize you meant only salons.
Probably my bad for the confusion. Not everyone has a dealer ordering book, so I forgot to mention Salon had it's own pages of information in the guide.
I did look under Supreme info, and you are most certainly correct; the MX1 was standard for Supreme with LV2 with MX0 optional. MX0 on Supreme was only standard "w/W42".
But if you had certain options on the 4 door, you were required to pay for the MX0 option. Weird.
The gearshift indicator will either have P R N D 2 1 or P R N O/D D 2 1 the spid label in the trunk will read either MX1 for 3speed or MX0 for 4 speed or by the shape of the trans pan.
