I totally agree, if you've got new bushings and the shaft surfaces they ride on are in good condition replace the bearings, it's cheap insurance against future problems.

The Packard Ultramatic is a simple transmission that once understood properly and driven properly will give you years of daily driver quality dependable service. Drive it like a hot rod and it's life is seriously shortened.

Like I've said before, you have to put yourself into the mindset of the typical '50s Packard owner, it wasn't "pedal to the metal", it was "Onward Jeeves, but don't spill my Cognac!"
