PFHartmann -

Once again, you are lying. You said:

Quote:
Brian is INCORRECT in describing the "lurch" problem between the 2 - 3 shift on Hydramatics.

Fact is, I cited a lurch in the 1-2 upshift - and as a matter of operating condition, NOT "seals going bad".

Meanwhile, anyone who has driven any Ultramatic knows there is more than ONE SPEED within. Yet, some newbies have mistakenly interpreted their inital experience with Gear Start and Twin Ultramatic as a THREE-SPEED.

Though the Ultramatic is only a TWO-SPEED (in addition to the gear reduction of the rear axle), you seem to bury your head in the send when it comes to the benefit of having torque multiplication of a genuine torque converter in the Ultramtic as opposed to the 'slip-n-slide" of a fluid coupling as used in the Hydramtic.

While the four-speed Hydramatic might have been a favorite of some drag racers way back then, could you explain the TWO-SPEED Powerglide continues to be offered, today, in Summit Racing catalog of performance equipment?
