It would not shift from 1st. gear to 2nd and would barely move in 1st. gear the Hydramatic does not have overdrive and it’s hard for me to cruise at 60-70 without spinning up the RPM's. So I feel it’s an upgrade for cruising. I do hate to change it because I'm a purest, but with that said, the best price I could find to rebuild the 4-speed Hydramatic was from Classic Hydramatic in Livonia, MI. and it came in at $3475, plus $400 round trip shipping and I still would not have overdrive.
