Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I’ve got a beautiful 1941 OneTwenty Packard with the Electromatic clutch. And over the 80 years of its existence, all of the linkage has been tampered with, and I’m looking for a detailed explanation/diagram of how to hook it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve called Kanter, and they don’t have any manuals on this specific model. And I have searched this site with no luck. THANK YOU!

There is a training manual on the prewar Electromatic Clutch in the literature archive. That is probably as detailed a book as you will find. You might also read thru some of the prewar service articles on the Electromatic as those were written to detail some recommended adjustment changes or explanations of operation and service as more experience in real world driving was obtained.

There is a vast difference in the pre and post war units with the prewar version being quite complicated as compared to the much simplified and refined postwar version. If you are interested in comparing the two the postwar version is also covered in a training manual entitled Clutch and Electromatic Clutch

G'day CrownVictrola,

I invite you to include your '41 120 Convertible Coupe in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

Beautiful Packard! I used to have a nearly complete 1941 Electromatic unit laying around but not much left now.
