WHAT IS THE LATEST YEAR TORQUEFLITE TRANSMISSION CAN I USE FOR A 58 CHRYSLER 300 D, WITH FACTORY MECHANICAL LIFTERS AND FACTORY CAM OPTION. CAN I USE MY POWERFLITE BUTTONS AND JUST NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER LOW GEAR AT STARTING OUT. WHO SELLS TORQUEFLITE REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS.

Location: N.W. Fla. | Up to '61 has the same bell bolt pattern & crank length, '62 & up have the modern bell pattern/cranks. Or use an adaptor like what "Wayfarer" (QEC) here on the Board sells to use the 62 or so ones that have the push buttons |

Remember that the shift cable changed on these cast iron Torque flites in 1960 to the style used up to 1965 with the adjustment "wheel" . With regard to the Buttons you will need to obtain a Torque flite button box as I think the only position that is close on the Powerflite box is "Drive" ' cause we tried that once when we were just starting out with this FL stuff that's how I know ...I'm pretty sure that the R,N, D buttons from the Powerflite set position correctly on a pre '60 Torqueflite button box or at least they do on '57-'58-'59 except for '59 Plymouth which has a unique button position setup.
I know of no one that sells rebuilt Torque flites you'd have to obtain a "core" and get it rebuilt. What car are you doing this on?? |

| I've got a '61 Torqueflite in my 300D the only difference I recall was the lenth of the shift cable, I think it's a lttle shorter on the '60-61.....and of course the cable has the wheel adjustment on the trans end.

I'm confused, you say it's a 300D which came only with a Torqueflite but you want to use your Powerflite buttons?

Location: Michigan | Hey Ron, I did this with my 55. I create a 5 button box so I could properly work the 57 Torgueflight I put in it. Only the really knowledgeable guys can tell there is something different about my car. Look at my signature below. Is this what your trying to accomplish? |

It really depends on whether you want to use an original iron replacement or want to adapt a later 727 using the adapter mentioned. If you want original, Chuck's link lists them. |
