John, I wasn't trying to kill the messenger. It just seemed that your proposal was to replace the T/L system with something far inferior. From that I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that you had little or no experience with the actual T/L system. Allison's design and Packard's implementation was a wonder considering that Packard changed engines, transmissions and suspension all in the same year. When I see and hear of Chrysler's broken Torsion bars which are so common, it amazes me even more that Packards have held up so well. The ride derived from the T/L system cannot be compared to air shocks.
