Stuck in park question

Posted by Paul Weeks On 2010/9/8 21:08:54

I bought a 1950 Super DeLuxe 8 about two weeks ago and I know nothing. My car looks to be in great shape but has an Ultramatic issue. The car was parked in a garage for about a year and not started. My brother in law got it started and I drove the car about 120 miles home. It ran a little rough but seemed to drive fine... Since the major tune up the car runs really nicely but can't really take off in "H" you have to floor it or start in "L" and shift into high. When you shift it clunks hard and loud. That was the first thing... I drove it around town yesterday and this morning it won't shift out of "park." Any ideas?? I have read all of Big Kev and 51 Packard's blogs and I thank God I found you guys!!
