Re: tranny hum and surge

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The converter in my '65 Polara used to make a noise when taking off from a 
stop (I coverted to a 4-spd, so it can't make the nosie anymore). To me it 
sounded sort of like a jet engine starting, so I had no complaints about it. 
I'm pretty sure it only made the noise as the converter was hooking up, and 
not continuously. Anyway, never posed a problem.
