As said by Gregor, we are going to try and get a trans in his car this weekend. I have been trying to read up on the ultramatic, but perhaps somebody can provide a link or advice. The trans he got is a used, but supposedly functional trans. Before we install I plan to check the adjustment on the low and reverse bands, and be careful to adjust the linkage for the shifter and throttle valve linkage.
Any other reasonably easy things to check before we go through the trouble to install this really heavy transmission? The little bit of fluid that I saw that came out of the trans looked ok and not burnt. Also, the engine that was attached to it had a spun rod bearing. I hope the car was parked because of the engine and not the trans. It is an non-gear start trans from I think 1951.
