Ok; the T/F has a 1st gear, and the P/F has a 2nd and a 3rd gear, and no 1st gear...but, its T/Q has about 200 RPM higher stall than the T/F's T/Q.

I've had both a PF and TF in my 56 Dodge. The TF is MUCH faster off the line!Dave Homstad 56 D500 On Sun, Apr 28, 2013 at 1:32 PM, Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc wrote:The PowerFlites have higher stall speeds in their torque converters, so they accelerate more quickly than the T/Flite, making-up for the lack of the T/Flite's low gear. A P/Flite is essentially a T/F, but without a 1st gear. Neil Vedder On 4/28/2013 10:26 AM, Brent Burger wrote:I did not know this !TF's were app'd behind slant sixes.
