Automatic Transmission Rebuild/Upgrade?

Posted by Bill Pauley On 2019/8/11 15:17:47

I have a receintly purchased a 1954 Clipper that Shows 79k miles and leaks from the front seal of the trans. Does anyone have any advice of where I should take it to be overhauled? I am in the Chicago Area. I am planning to start with asking the local rebuilders and go from there. I had a bad (Expensive) experience with a 1958 Pontiac that I no longer own with a trans rebuild 20 years ago. Guess I did not learn from it since I bought an Older car than that one with an automatic. I see that there is an adapter out there for a 2 speed power glide Transmission, does anyone make an adapter for a GM 700R4? Would love to be able to go highway speeds and keep the RPM's to a reasonable level. It may not even be possible but just asking. Would love to have 4 forward gears. I have not driven my car due to bad tires and brakes. Looking for a treadle vac rebuilder as well. Thanks Bill
