    I’m stuck, we pulled the transmission replaced shift cable and did the seals and gaskets. We got it back in the car and when the car is off it will go into neutral,drive,low and reverse. When we start the car it will go into every gear but reverse. Since you can’t start the car unless it’s in...

  4. Transmission and DriveLine Questions
    Help from original powerglide supporters, please. Someday I may "upgrade" to a modern overdrive cruis-a-matic, but not yet. Thanks. How much leaking is reasonable? How many miles should I expect before adding fluid? Is there hope to reduce leaks to minor drips? Drips and fluid stains in the...

    Hello. I am missing the bolt to the right of the transmission filler tube on the cover plate for my 1957 powerglide. Does anybody know the size I need for the bolt and/or where I can get one? Thanks!

    This was on my 1956 with the original 2 speed power glide transmission. I think it’s the same for all 1955, 1956, and 1957 maybe more where it bolts to the transmission not to the engine block. Worked great, has sticker on starter says Arrow (?) not sure what that indicates. 25.00 and you pick...

    I've got a 1956 Bel Air Sedan with a Powerglide. The transmission was working perfectly, but after an engine rebuild the trans started leaking, and later stopped shifting well. However, the dipstick says that it's full and it won't take more fluid. I want to top it off and have a transmission...

    I have achieved one goal. My 55 passed Texas safety inspection and I registered it as a classic. Even ordered specially plates. My Rochester 2G is even running well, but now we realize when getting ready to have the linkage installed to the powerglide transmission that the bracket attached to...

    I'm currently using a stock PG behind a rebuilt 235 6cyl. Due to overheat incidents, I had a 3-row aluminum radiator custom built. When the manufacturer put the bungs in for the radiator cooler lines at the bottom of the radiator, he put one in so close to the harmonic balancer that the steel...

    Hey guys, picked up a running 55 Bel Air the other day with the 235, and powerglide. The car is completely original. The problem I'm having is that the car does not want to go into reverse, although it drives pretty good. When the car is running, and I shift into reverse the idle does drop...

    I have a 1957 Bel Air 2dr sedan with a 283 and powerglide configuration. The 283 and Powerglide are from a 1962 Impala. Both the engine and powerglide were rebuilt. There isn't more than 200 miles on the rebuilds, which were done nearly 10 years ago (my dad never drove the car). If I...

    Hi, I want to tow a 56 Chevy with a cast iron Powerglide. I've heard that if you run the engine while your towing it, that will keep the front pump working and everything will be OK. This sounds a little scarry, as it seems like the engine could stop unbeknownst to the tow vehicle. I need to tow...

  20. Transmission and DriveLine Questions
    Are all powerglide transmissions from 1955 the same? Will a transmission from a six cylinder car bolt up to a mid 60's 283 V-8? I'm thinking the V-8 uses a spacer or adaptor ring??? Thanks, Bill.
