Guy, the whole idea behind the Ultramatic was smooth shifting. You're not supposed to notice the shifts and my 400 operates that way. You can tell by the pitch of the motor that you've shifted(if that's the right word) into direct drive. The tranny is working as designed. Packard's engineers were working on that smoothness and that is why it is designed as it is.
