New potential Packard owner (In the UK) with a Gearbox Question

Posted by Ash On 2016/9/1 3:46:26

Hi and apologies for jumping straight in with a question before I've introduced myself but I am looking on Saturday to possibly purchase a 1955 Clipper Custom Constellation which i'm told by the seller will not go into low ratio and is difficult to get into reverse. I know the Twin Ultramatics have issues as I've read quite a bit about them over the last day or so but wondered if anyone has any ideas as to the likely cause and if its a simple ish fix or a full rebuild (obviously i know its hard to tell but still hoping for some advice)

Thanks

Ashley
