I had the Ultramatic in my 55 400 replaced two years ago with the 700r GM transmission. WOW! what a difference; the car came alive with more go and better gas mileage than I had ever seen before. I had had 3 Ultras rebuilt-all failed after less than two years, Now I can drive the car without worrying the ultra will self destruct.I do not blame the transmission guys either I just think the Ultra in 55 was just a plain bad design-although I've been told the 56's were much better.By the way if your considering having your Treadle-Vac rebuilt DO NOT SEND IT TO WHITE POST!!!!!! DONT GET SUCKERED IN BY THAT "LIFETIME WARRANTY", a lifetime warranty is only good if your around for it! Send it to Ross Miller in Parkton Md.
