Ross -

This info is exactly the kind of thing that a Packard enthusiast is looking for!

IMHO, Packard just didn't have sufficient time (and volume) to completely refine the new, automatic, low-to-high shifting of the late-54 Gear Start Ultramatic and 55-56 Twin Ultramatic.

Personally, I would rather get to the bottom of a problem and fix it, rather than go to all the trouble and expense of substituting ANY other automatic transmission in place of the Ultramatic.

So, thanks for sharing your hands-on insights - keep us posted on the results.
