Hi,

NAPA used to have one that looked something like that which was used on tractors. I used one for a while on my '30 until I got one of the reproduction with the spin on inside.

Hi,

I got the kit from Max Merritt but have not installed it yet. A friend put one on his 400 and it works well.

Thanks, Ill take a look at the bulletin to see if that can help me this weekend when I have some time to look at it.

When I brought it back the first time after the rebuild for leaking, it was not fixed nor was it free, though we did negotiate the charge down.

Thanks, is it difficult to adjust the throttle linkage? It was set up for the '55, top hole, and I had my mechanic reset it to the middle hole, per the service manual, and adjust the throttle linkage. That made a difference in the shift pattern and I'm wondering if that adjustment needs to be done again to fix the tranny from not shifting out of first in D?

Thanks, I'll give this a try. The Push Button selector on the transmission has not been done yet, so it sometimes misses the gear.

The rebuild was done by Packard Motorcars in So. Windsor, Ct. several years back. There was an older gent working there who had been a Packard mechanic at a local dealership who started the rebuild but was not able to finish it . So I can't verify if the problems I'm having are the result of the work done by the person who finished the job.

Needless to say, I'm trying to decide if it's worth keeping the Ultramatic and see if someone else can fix it once and for all so we can take it on a long trip without worry.

Thanks
Gene

Thanks,

I had it rebuilt once(over$2500) and am trying to determine if it is worth spending additional money on it. Finding someone has been difficult and bringing it back to the prior place is not an option.

I've thought of selling it, but it is a Caribbean HT and I'd like to be able to use it as a reliable driver.

Thanks, does the parts car need to be a Patrician or 400 or will the Clipper work?
