Location: California		Hi all,

Are there any replacement TC that can be used in place of the original for the powerflight transmission. My car is going into the shop tomorrow but i just thought id ask to see if there were any other options available other than to upgrade the whole transmission. I really like my PF. Thanks

Location: Michigan		You can have it rebuilt and you can use a Cast Iron TF TC, as far as I know. I have both transmissions with air cooled and a water cooled TC. The mount / fitment is the same. At least for the two I have.

The question I have to ask though is why do you want to know? The PF TC has a very specific response range to support the fact that the trans is only a two speed. Messing with that spec TC requires some serious thought.

Good advice referring to the stall speed differences.

Location: Buena Park, CA		Ty, I picked up an extra Powerflite from Nathan (Powerflite happens to be his member name here) and torque converter a couple of weeks ago that was fully functioning when removed last year from his '56 Plymouth. Hit me up if you need the torque converter.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		The pump is mounted in the front end of the transmission. A damage drive sleeve might press on the pump, but I guess that it's the converter.
