Transmission Modifications/replacement

Posted by Barry Keith Brigham On 2012/7/5 12:08:42

Hi all,
I have been a lurker for awhile but this is my first post. I have a '52 Packard Mayfair that has been modified in a couple of ways, most importantly it has a '56 drivetrain in it (374 from a 400). Actually the whole thing works together fairly well, but the weak link is the Twin Ultramatic. Like a lot of other people, I am getting fed up with not being able to use the car the way I want, mostly because of the transmission. has anyone come up with a really good replacement transmission? I've looked at some of the threads, but it doesn't look like there is a lot of agreement on a solution. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
