Ultramatic will not let go when stopping - 1950

Posted by otgdy On 2011/9/15 7:59:02

Always something. I have a '50 with an ultramatic.

If I am driving along in "second gear" and I stop for a light the car bucks-n-dies. Like driving a standard and forgetting to push the clutch in when stopping.

If I am in "first gear" I can stop normally and it doesn't do its buck-n-die act.

If I am in "second gear" and I put it in neutral prior to stopping then I can put it in drive and idle for the light to change then proceed. No problem.

The trans upshifts normally and smoothly. Problem occurs when it is both hot and cold. Has fluid.

Any ideas on how to fix this ?

Thanks
