I find myself wondering if anyone, anywhere has ever asked this question:
Is there anyone who has ever made a replica Packard Hawk nose and hood? The cars are rare enough that I don't think I'd want to use original panels that a restorer might need, though I wouldn't say no if such things ever turn up...

Done and done. I didn't know you allowed lowly Studes in there. ;) Quote: BTW - Love the Forum name, incongruous but conjures up all sorts of unlikely images.

Heh... I managed to find those just before I got your reply, but thanks anyway. <ggg> Definitely the adjustment. One has to be careful to make sure the shift goes all the way down to get into Reverse. And what I found also was that, once rolling, she shifts happily into Hi. So I guess I've learned more than one thing today. So on the list it goes. Danged list keeps gettin' longer and longer...

Ah, thank you both. I had assumed that since it went into gear it _was_ already adjusted, but there are subtleties here I'm not used to. ;)
And thanks also for the pages. I don't have access to a shop manual for 56 (yet) so it will be a huge help... as will the fact that the body's off the car and I can actually make the measurements they mention. Now I just need a dipstick...

Hey, all...
I have recently become the proud owner of a Packard 352 and Ultramatic (okay, it's in a Golden Hawk frame, but never mind that...) and while moving it around under its own power I discovered something unexpected. 'Low' and Reverse work fine, but 'High' doesn't engage at all that I can tell. Am I missing something, or is it going to be rebuild time soon? Also, is it normal for Neutral to lock up the transmission? I was trying to push it in Neutral and it acted as if there were a Park setting instead. Again, am I missing something? TYK, all. Love the information here; gives me soemthing to think about while scraping rust. ;)
