1946 Overdrive

Posted by gr8scottw On 2016/3/30 17:42:53

Hello! I'm new the Packard world, with a 1946 Super Clipper Touring. When I purchased the car, there was another Overdrive transmission with the car (the car didn't originally have o/d).

I guess my question to you fine folks is: Were the overdrives Borg Warner o/d's? In 1946 would it have been the R-9 or R-10? I have the book on the R-10 & R-11, but haven't found anything about the R-9. I want to put the overdrive transmission in the car to help with touring, but trying to gather some information first!

Thanks,
