ok.
i am in the mist of research . I drive my 52 200 Deluxe at least three times a week out to the VA from Hollywood.

when she is cold she growls right before she shifts into the higher gear. when she warms up , no growl. when it warms up she stays in high. i have to manually start in low then shift up when i she winds up on the highway.
on the highway she stays locked up. The converter stays locked. when i stop she disengages.
it is a 53 Ultamatic cause i checked the casting numbers by the filler /breather hole on top.

i drained the fluid last year and filled it with Dextron fluid.
she seems to get too hot ( the transmission) but she has a trans cooler ( the aftermarket kind tied to the front of the radiator. )

i am starting to read:

the Ultamatic training manual

and

this :https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7994&forum=14

i am sure by the time i am done reading some one will respond with some good info or remedy..

i.e. Help!

thanks you guys
