Not to disagree, but speaking from personal experience plus lots of folk I've talked to over the years, at least the early PowerFlites had a habit of braking reverse bands. But that TorqueFlite was some trans, I had several over the years and recall my early days at the drag strip in my lowly Hudson Hornet watching Plymouth hemis with TorqueFlite having better ETs than 4-speed manuals. That was a real turning point. Due to the the fact that Hudsons had the wet clutch, the Hydramatic was much quicker, ours had a "locked" Hydramatic by B&M.
