I have a 1960
LeBaron Sedan. The other day I pulled out the engine and transmission as a
single unit and sent them off to the mechanic. Both the engine and tranny will
be stripped down, inspected/repaired/refurbished and rebuilt. The engine will
then run on unleaded petrol as the LRP is virtually gone here in Sydney.
Two
questions please - To the best of my limited knowledge this tranny is
the A488 3 speed Torqueflite with the cast iron casing. I believe that this
tranny was introduced in 1956 and was replaced in 1962 by the A727 with an
aluminium casing - Is this correct. I have read that the Powerflite continued up
into 1961 also with the cast iron casing.
I also
noticed that the rear extension which houses the governor assembly and the
output shaft assembly is painted green. The rest of the tranny is unpainted.
Does anyone know if this green is factory original?
Stay safe
