Re: [FWDLK] need some help with a cast iron torqueflite

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've rebuilt the transmission as outlined in the factory shop manual, but
find that we have a situation of "no neutral". 

HI,
I've rebuilt some Torqueflite and i know this situation !!! The forward clutches play is wrong !!! So you have always the fwd clutch engaged (even in N) and i think the car is locked when you're in R (the two clutches are engaged).
When you rebuild a Torqueflite you must have some oversized and undersized disc clutches to permit to have the right play.
I order these clutches from collectorautosupply if i remember well.
