I had the same thing happen to me last fall and I had Pete Fitch rebuild my ultramatic-I remember when i was talking to him he said there were several major differences in the 1955/1956 Ultramatic. I suggest you call him ASAP and install a transmission cooler on the car-I got a nice one from Jegs it only cost $114.00 (and it had an electric fan) plus the mounting kit (I also added a tranmission heat gauge. One of the problems with Ultra that if the linkage is not properly set up-and its a tricky task-the high clutches will burn. But give Pete a call.
