got some good news from the kool kojak 51 Packard road readying projecto

electric has been up to speed for about a week, been takin short range sushi cruises, and an occasional romp around Hollywood , all in LO gear, top speed 18 mph

which is suitable

today I drove the Packard about 20 blocks deep into Hollywood to scoop Ammo (and chat with an old timer about Packard's luxury pedigree) to Henson Studios home of the Muppets .


Tony , Richies uncle nephew, stopped by to say hi and he had 2 giant bottles of transmission fluid !!!

and we cruised out to the parking lot .... underneath Kermit's butt, and filled up thru the vent .


AND THEN I SHIFTED INTO HI GEAR AND THE FRIGGIN CAR STARTED DRIVIN!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA


i need shocks pretty bad
and new white walls

ON TO POMONAAAAAAAAA

Packy posse!

been rollin the Sunset Strip in the 51
LO gear only, so 18 mph top speed... thats fine for Sunset.

Toby rolled thru today, a.k.a.Boner....
we tossed 2 quarts trannny fluid into the case vent ....
and went bombin around the hills

HIGH "kind of"engaged after the refill, it almost engaged.... weakly hinted at maybe being in gear.

i suppose it might be time to replace the clutch plates ?
i imagine the original cork plates are not holdin up....


dioes this require engine removal? i read the ultramatic manual, and understood very little. i cant read good. my cross to bear

Tranny problema!

i cracked open the floor of my vehicle to add oil.... and there's no plug ...
so im guessing this would prevent any pressure from building up in there...
hence the no shifting

anybody knows where i might find one of them>? part # etc?


i read the Ultramaitc drive manual... and dont think the pressure test is gunna work without a seal.
couldnt find any part #'z in there

thanks Big Kev

just got advised that my transmission problem calls for a removal of the converter clutch

however the lower linkage is rather wobbly

anyways 1 st thing is fill tranny with fluid

uh oh

need new :

TURN SIGNAL CAM
WHEELS CYLANDERZ!!! (leakin)
REAR SHOCKS (shorties)
COURTESY LIGHT KIT

good thing i managed to dramatically undercut the askin price
we shall redirecting revenue stream to white walls acquisitions

.... more weekend fotos .....

ok thanks for the Ultramatic advice

yo guys
re: ultramatic

Toby (not Tony) is pokin around and we think it may be a linkage problem

the lower linkage- idler linkage?- is loose and wobbly
and as a result the tranny might not be findin high

gunna toy around with linkage and see if that's gunna do the trick

Super 8 -

Inglewoooooodddddd!!!
i ate some righteous chicken in Inglewood .
hopefully i'll be cruisin the streets again in style
