86 GL-10 Wagon AT issue

[erikvr]

I just test drove an 86 GL-10 Turbo wagon with the push button 4WD. I noticed I could not shift into first gear, but the transmission seems otherwise fine. Once I got home, I wondered if you can only get into first gear if the red 4WD button is pressed? Or is the transmission messed up? \

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated. And what's up with the digital dashboard? Kinda goofy if you ask me.
