[FWDLK] Powerflite rebuild

[Curtis French <cmf392@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

 

The rear band broke in my 56 Plymouth's Powerflite.  Right next to the hook where the band strut goes.  This is a new one on me - never broke a band before.

 

Anyway, looks like I'm going to have to tear apart the tranny to get at the band and I figure I might as well rebuild it while it's out.  Kanter has a rebuild kit for $240 and that doesn't include the bands.  The band kit is an extra $100 plus a $50 deposit per band.  For another $35, I can get all the bushings, too. 

 

Anyone used the Kanter kit?  Quality OK?  Is there a better or cheaper source for Powerflite rebuild kits?

 

Thanks,

Curtis
