Re: [Chrysler300] 56 Torqueflite

Hi Johnnie,

 

It must have been about 1963 or 1964 that the PowerFlite in my 1957 Plymouth started to have a problem (don't remember what specifically) but I had the chance to get a TorqueFlite from a '57 Plymouth that was being junked and put in my car.  It was so long ago that I don't remember the exact details, but it seemed to be a pretty smooth transition.  Adjusting the cable with the 5 push button assembly was fairly straightforward as I recall.  The cable and trans were of course a matching set.  It took a bit of fine tuning for the buttons to work correctly but they all worked perfectly.  Wish I could help with more details, but it was 50 years ago.

 

Boy did that Plymouth drive and shift nice after I got done with the job.  The TorqueFlite sure was an improvement. It brings back good memories.

Has anyone out there changed a 56 Chrysler from a powerflite to a torqueflite----?--I have the 56 TF bezel and buttons-----the 57 TF shifting mechanism is completely different---I can't see anyway to modify this unit to accept the 56 buttons-----with the powerflite shifting unit I can get R---N----D--and I think 2 but not 1---maybie someone has solved this problem--------Johnnie Slayton
