The early Hydra-Matics like the one that was in my Pat did not have a torque converter and did not need external cooling.
The transmission cooler in the lower radiator hose had been removed.

The early Hydramatics (pre 1956) were a single hydraulic coupling unit. These had no Park position and were to be parked in Reverse- if you shifted into reverse while moving, it would crunch much like a stick shift. They were fairly rough shifting, too. The later were a two coupling design which had a Park position plus they shifted much more smoothly and were properly called Dual Range Hydramatic but neither of these 4 speed Hydramatics had a torque converter.

The early Hydramatics used fluid couplings like Chrysler did with their early semi automatics didn't they?
