I would have to say the twin-ultramatic transmission. I have owned a 1955 Packard since 2003 and have burned through 4 transmissions-the best one the car had was the ORIGINAL one it came with in 1955-that one lasted until june 2006 when it gave up the ghost on the PA turnpike-I have allready ordered a bendtsens tranmission conversion kit and one of thier chevy transmissions to replace the ULTRA. Simply put Ive never owned an old car that has destroyed this many transmissions.
