Re: [FWDLK] Transmission Question



Ok; the T/F has a 1st gear, and the P/F has a 2nd and a 3rd
gear, and no 1st gear...but, its T/Q has about 200 RPM
higher stall than the T/F's T/Q.

No! 1st gear in a TorqueFlite is 42% lower than in a PowerFlite. No way a 200 rpm increase in torque converter stall speed will make up for that. I've had both a PF and TF in my 56 Dodge. The TF is MUCH faster off the line!

A P/Flite is essentially a T/F, but without a 1st gear.

TF's were app'd behind slant sixes. I have handled a number of them over the years.

I am wondering if the 57 through 59 Torqflite transmissions were used in the 230-6 cyl plymouths and dodges? Or did those cars just use the 2 speed powerflites?
  Thanks, Allen
