Re: Jerky Transmission Engagement

[Richard Kinsley <leroar.kinsley058@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another thing to check is your motor mounts and trans mount. Does the engine jump around? They can crack and cause movement there.

Regarding the push button situation I found that my buttons were very loose and dirty in the dash control. I took them apart, cleaned and tightened everything and there was a world of difference. I had issues with them hanging up, etc too. It isn't that hard to remove them. Just watch and preferably take pictures as you disassemble.

I have the same problem with my 64 dodge polara push button Torqueflite.

Does not matter if cold or hot and idle at 500-600rpm  or less. Terrible clunk and lurch of car.  Car however shifts very smoothly on the road including step down linkage (passing gear?)

I have checked the u joints and rear end and am convinced it is the transmission.

Do I need to have transmission reworked or live with it?

I also notice that all buttons stay in when pressed, except drive which engages transmission but the button pops back out. Maybe it is just worn, since most used?

My 1963 Dodge 330 is fitted with an auto pushbutton transmission and
an automatic choke. When the transmission is engaged, it is quite a
violent reaction in both reverse and forward - what is the cure for
this? I'm worried about damage to the u-joints and the transmission
itself.
