Re: Ultramatic Transmssion Mystery after rebuild
Posted by David Childs On 2013/3/1 17:02:42
Hello to all Packard friends who responded to this thread:
This is a quick update before the weekend regarding my Ultramatic (non-gear start) transmission. Apparently with the rear end raised all this week, trans. fluid has crept into the necessary passages and has primed the front pump enough to fill the torque converter and allow the transmission to work in all gears!!
A road test won't happen until next week to see if the transmission will go into direct drive. My car mechanic has to install new shocks (Kanter) and rework the front wheel cylinders prior to a road test. More to come on the direct-drive issue. Thanks to all of you for your responses. One of you was direct on target.
