Location: Espoo, Finland | I've a (probably?) working PowerFlite for my -58 Plymouth which has sat unused for three years on a cold storage now.
I'm worried about all seals/gaskets so I think it would be better to do some slight refurbishment for it.
The easiest way is, of course, to let specialist to do everything, but if I want to destroy it by myself, what kind of (if any) special tools do I need?
A fish weighing scale?
Power in -> hopes & dreams -> something to rear wheels
Power in -> magick happens -> something to rear wheels
and so on... |

Location: Muskego, WI | I rebuilt a 1956 Torque Flite, not sure how similar they are inside. The only special tool I needed was something to hold the sprag clutch springs and rollers in place. I had to make the tool myself, but it was pretty simple to do. I posted a mechanical drawing of the tool on the forum some time ago. |

Location: Espoo, Finland | Thanks for the reply and info. I've never opened an automatic transmisson, but I think this is as good start as anything else. |

There is no overrunning clutch (sprag) in the Powerflite so the special tool isn't needed.
This video gives you an idea of the internals of the Powerflite.

Thanks for your reply and pointing that. I also found that same video yesterday.
Youtube, that endless source of self-learning videos! |

Location: Eastern Iowa | There should be a listing in the front of each component section of the FSM that lists all the special Miller tools needed to service that assembly.
.I have 3 boards full of those tools and would be glad to loan them, with a deposit of course. |
