'59 Plymouth Forum

Good Job! The 59 A 466 transmissions have two different valve bodys, the better is the one like the 60 or one piece, like you have. I personally would not have had any problem reusing the shift cable again. That being a' Known good part' is definitely a better choice. Good luck in the future, be su...

Wish I was there... My sister said ' I am so used to how things work, I would make a horrible teacher'. What ever that means? 1 Clean the cable adjuster wheel at the transmission, remove the lock bolt and pull the cable out of the transmission housing, making the shift detent go to first gear. 2 If...

The cable connection was used from 1956 to 1965. I used a pocket screw driver to unclip the 'Hairpin' on the connector to release the 'Shift Cable'.top two are 1956 powerflite but the connection is the same 'Hairpin spring wire'. last picture is 1962 to 1965 showing virtually the same connection.

looks good, just confused with picture #2 I see feet and can't scale if this is debris or what. think the description of the cable release being a 'Hairpin' is pretty good. Do you have a Factory service manual? I have even used the local library to research this type of thing.... Amazing what you c...

I would have to guess that the internal rooster comb inside the transmission is in the neutral position being you could start the engine. I feel the cable some how came has come loose from one end or the other. I just worked on a pushbutton controlled Torqueflite last Thursday and the cable came lo...

Wow! Dan, Is this in your county? I have the luxury of being by our county air port and see many 'war birds' flying overhead. Enjoy the show. Wish I were there.Post Script The RAF Red Arrows were just here and put on quite a show.

I wish I would have seen this post earlier... I think you would like the Sealed Power Cam CS 327 the specs are the same as the later 361 and 413 engines. slightly hotter than the 59 spec and better economy and power. sounds great, like the original.

Went to breakfast with John Q. He said the new owner and friend were driving the Frau down to Houston today. Staying on continent anyway
An adventure they will enjoy, the weather was cool and threatening to rain.

Frau Blucar Van nuys.jpg Wow! I can't believe John is selling 'Frau Blucar' , I went with John Q. to the Spring Fling in Van Nuys, California, and cruised with John to Malibu twice, enjoyed every minute, this vehicle performed flawlessly, being the passenger I was able to relax and enjoy all scener...
