Re: An Ultramatic experiment

Though the term Torqueflite actually covers a variety of incarnations over several decades, it has a well-deserved reputation as a good automatic transmission.

However, I would personally never accept any other automatic transmission in any of my Packards than an Ultramatic. There are plenty of owners who have proven that the Ultramatics can be reliable for the purpose for which they were intended.

Thankfully, some devotees have looked into the depths of a few problems and come up with some good improvements - rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Again, keep up the good work, Ross!
