John, don't scratch too hard - the turf is thin up there.
1. Major oiling problems with the new V8's
Refer to Peter Toet's reprint from Pop Mech
2. Problems with the twin ultramatic
They did have some problems with 55 TUs but no more and probably less than other MFG and they responded quickly - not an excess of TSBs on the tranny though
3. Major problems with the quality and fit with bodies produced by Packard in 1955.
That has been documented, but apparently fixed before the customer bought the car - refer again to Peter Toet's entry
4. Rear axle bearing problems in 56
The axle bearing problems were caused by Dana and fixed by Packard
5. Problems in 1956 with the new new button selector.
I'm sorry - I don't know of any great problems with the pushbutton selector and I drove one as my daily driver from 62-65. I drive one today.
Unfortunately, I won't be driving mine tomorrow. The weathermen here in Pgh refuse to cooperate.
