They had to break down or they would not have Kent Moore make all those specialty tools and all the manuals. And you would see 10,000 GMs and Fords to one Mopar. Remember!! This is Detroit that I'm talking about. LOL!

Never heard of that one. But I do have a trans book that has 2000 plus pages for transmissions from 1930 to 1972. My dad had it. I forgot about the Road ranger trans and heavy equipment to forklifts. I was a Boiler Repair Man in the Navy. Worked on Oil fired Boilers to turbines to Nuclear Power Propulsion Units on ships.

That is a picture from an FB page and no details about the combination. I have done a lot of research and followed 49er post and gained a lot from him. Someday, I will pass his knowledge of these transmissions. LOL!! The only way that will happen if he kicks before I do. I have had experts telling me that the fluid never needs changing, that you can't push start and also can not use the trans as a trans brakes going down the hill. Had people also telling me that any Flat 6 or V8 from 35 to 53 will interchange and that is incorrect because of the engine oil feeds to the trans. ECT ECT. SO YES! I'm going to keep asking questions because I am not a no it all. Always room for knowledge and the only STUPID QUESTION is the one that is not asked.

I have been wrenching since the mid-60s in the Detroit area. I have owned and operated 4 full-service gas stations to a warehouse to work on big trucks. I worked for the City Of Detroit in the Municipality Garage. I have never come across any of these until I started working for Dodge city 6 years ago. I have worked on Slim jims, dual range Dyno flows to Hydramatics, turbo Glides to power Glides, turbo 200s to 450s and MT 40 to AT 540s. Saginaw 3 and 4 speeds to T10s to M21 and 22s. Ford O Matic to Cruise O Matic. 727s to 940s. NOW!! You tell me why I have never seen or worked on one with 40 mechanics working for me with thousands of cars going through my garage? My dad even ran a trans shop out of our garage in the 50s and 60s. So, I think that covers a wide area. I want to learn all there is to this trans because they are fascinating on how they work. I have been buying tools to work on these also. That 49er, I think he is the most knowledgeable person on here with a few others. Im going to have to talk him into on doing a class and I will be in the front seat. And to answer your question about why people are not knowledgeable? You tell me from the statement that I just made above.

Can you give some examples of the questions then the wrong answers?

??

They had a clutch with a torque converter? I did not think that would work. With a torque converter that would lock up after so many RPMs, what was the function of the clutch then? Very interesting when I think that I have a handle on it. LOL!! It's interesting because we are starting to get a lot of calls with these transmissions. With this being a 4 speed, how does the OD come into play?

Funny, I was 8 years old in 1960 when dad had a 56 lincoln like the one pictured. 1st car that dad had me on his lap and I was steering the car in a residential neighborhood while he worked the pedals. It was pink also. LOL!!!

Were they all fluid drive trans equip with the fluid drive coupling? And torque converter with no clutch. That combo would not go togeather. Correct?

No cooling lines or trans pan.

Is this an OD or a straight 3 speed?

I do not like that color. Why would it be a top choice? Thanks for the compliment.

Is this a factory bracket or home made with the yellow arrow pointed at the bracket?

Here are the bracket and bumper with a center dip from my 34 Dodge DR fronts. They are different.

Thank you. The front brackets for what style bumpers? Straight, drop in the center or does the center come out? Does the rear have a spare, luggage rack or plain? A lot of different brackets and bumpers for sure.

Thank you. Are they the same for the 33?

Are the brackets the same for the rear 33 Dodge and Ply coupes? Any pictures and or measurements? Thanks Dave

We have a 57 Crown that were selling. Great cars.

Fluid drive or torque converter? No cap on bell housing to check fluid and has trans cooling lines. Is this an OD? M5 or 6?
