I have used this system to get in and out of my steep driveway so it does not bottom out, however recently I raised the car but it refuses to return to the low position when I make the switch again. It is now stuck in the up position. There are two (after market) toggle switches one I believe is the system on/off switch and the other the up/down switch. The car does not level automatically either.

I want to install rear seat belts in my 55 Packard. Is there a special type required or is it just what ever is available?

That's a good question, I have never taken my foot off the brake until I can get it into park. I'll try. Thanks

It looks like the one in there now has been modified in fact manufactured from copper tubing. I wonder if length is not correct and may be an issue. This car is new to me so still learning.

The shift lever moves freely. The problem occurs when I shift from drive/reverse to park and it just won't engage. Sometimes I shut the engine down and then it might go into park but that is not a solution of course as it works only sometime.

Having difficulty getting transmission into park. Also on occasion it will not go into gear selected. Obviously need some adjustments somewhere in the system. 55 Packard Clipper. Thanks for any suggestions

Thank you for your prompt response. The minute I throw the switch, the car raises then just as quick once I switch it back the car returns to its normal position. So now this will be my normal practice to get it down my steep driveway and return to normal to drive. Thanks again.

I am a new owner of a 55 Packard and new to classic car ownership. I have a short steep driveway and when I back the car down, the tailpipe scrapes. I understand and have found the switch under the dash that raises the car. Can I safely use this while backing down the driveway and then switching it back to normal to then lower the car for normal driving?? This may seem like an obvious question to some but a lot of things to me are going to be a steep learning curve to enjoy a vintage car. Thanks
