Topic: Powerflite


  
  The Powerflite automatic transmission
Consequently, the latter was changed to an internal-expanding unit mounted on the transmission tail shaft as was the external-contracting brake on the manual gear box.
The quality of the Powerflite design is well attested to by the fine, long-lived reputation of its three-speed successor, the famous Torqueflite, arguably the best automatic transmission to come out of Detroit, if not the world.
The PowerFlite transmission is air-cooled, as is the torque converter.

 Transmission Interchange On Chrysler Imperials
I have purchased a 1953 Chrysler with a Powerflite tranny.
Fluid drive engines had the bell housing cast integral with the block, while engines using the Powerflite automatic had a regular flange like most engines and the bell housing was attached to the transmission.
This seems to imply that the Powerflite was somehow adapted to the long bell housing.

 The Hy-Drive automatic transmission
Advertised as the transmission for those who wanted the ease of automatic driving yet the ability to select their own gears, it really was just a stop-gap measure to mark time until the new fully automatic Powerflite would become available during the 1954 model year.
Although highly touted in 1953, the Hy-Drive was seldom mentioned in 1954 once the new Powerflite automatic became available.
Better to find the Powerflite model, which required no such extensive fixes to fit.] Even with its late model year introduction of the Powerflite to the Plymouth, 61,000 units were equipped with it.
