	The legendary torqueflite automatic transmission
		The TorqueFlite transmission was Chrysler's mainstay from its introduction in 1956 through the early 1990s, remaining in duty in modified form (for front wheel drive) through 2001 in the Neon, and continuing even today with electronic controls for trucks.
		TorqueFlite has proved to be so dependable that there are no recommendations for band adjustments, clutch friction material replacement, or transmission fluid or fluid filter changes under normal conditions.
		With TorqueFlite, no band adjustments are recommended-and there are no recommendations for changing the transmission fluid and fluid filter: Chrysler, through the years, has been so convinced of TorqueFlite's engineering superiority that it uses the same basic design from its lowest priced compact car to the highest priced New Yorker Brougham.

	TorqueFlite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TorqueFlite (also spelled Torqueflite) was the trademarked name of Chrysler Corporation's three-speed automatic transmission, which was introduced late in the 1956 model year.
		TorqueFlite was introduced on the heels of the company's two-speed PowerFlite automatic, which made its debut in 1954.
		TorqueFlite was an available option or standard equipment, depending on model and year, on all Chrysler products (Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial) and on various American Motors (AMC), Jeep, Maserati Quattroporte, Monteverdi [1] and Bristol [2] brand vehicles as well.

	Tom Hand's guide to the Chrysler torqueflite automatic transmission
		The Torqueflite is shifted automatically into second gear by a governor signal pushing the 1-2 shift valve over and allowing line pressure to be directed to the front servo-kickdown band assembly and to the accumulator.
		The Torqueflite is designed in such a way to give relatively slow, soft shifts; and the 2-3 shift is the one I think needs the most improvement.
		Advantage number one to Torqueflite modification is elimination of the 2-3 shift overlap which gives a crisp, efficient shift from second to third, prolonging the friction material life.

	Transmission Fluid, Pressure and Problems
		And second, after being rebuilt it is not uncommon to experience a broken reverse band within the first couple of thousand miles.
		Hang a gauge on a Torqueflite and you'll see a lot of REVERSE pressure and you'll see it quickly when you move that selector.
		Torqueflites are great transmissions and through the years numerous improvements have been made.

		This is one of B&M’s brutal street/strip TorqueFlite 727 transmissions.
		TorqueFlites were also used in some American Motors automobiles from 1972 until AMC’s demise, and they even made an appearance in some import applications, including Mitsubishis.
		The heavy-duty 727 TorqueFlite was used by Mopar to back up virtually all of its high-horsepower mills from the 426 Max Wedge to the aforementioned 340 high-performance V-8 engines, to the brutal Street Hemis.

	Insider's history of Plymouth - Part V
		As later racing versions of the Torqueflite proved, you could increase the amount of torque capability by machining more "beef" into the gear set.
		Ford Motor Company was so impressed with the Torqueflite that it attempted to quietly buy the rights to manufacture a sort of "copycat." The story, however, was quickly picked up by the automotive magazines.
		The Ford got the jump, but the Plymouth started to catch right up about 60 and by the time the Torqueflite had wound the 301 out to 85 miles an hour, the Plymouth was 10 car lengths ahead.

	Kickdown adjustements on "cast iron" Torqueflite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Since i overhauled some Torqueflites i always had some problems with the "forced kickdown" (or forced downshift 3-2 or 2-1 or 3-1).
		Generally it does not function properly and one depresses in vain on the accelerator, the car does not downshift..
		After this adjustement, if the pedal is released you'll see that the throttle lever doesn't bottomed on "idle" stop (like 1b pic) but rather at an intermediate position between 1b and 2b So if you follow the FSM manual with throttle lever on "idle stop" you never go to KD position.

	VWvortex Forums: TorqueFlite Tribute: Half A Century...
		TorqueFlite became standard on many high-line Mopar cars and eventually made their way to lesser lines.
		Being used as it was in Chrysler's revered luxury and muscle cars, the TorqueFlite continued to be used in RWD Chryslers for many years.
		Rear drive stayed in the trucks, but eventually it became necessary to have an overdrive top gear, and the newer 4-speed automatics were the end of the Torqueflite.

	Technical Advice — TorqueFlite Kick-Down Linkage — Hot Rod Magazine
		Jerry Leonhardt Medford, WI Unlike classic musclecar-era GM and Ford trannys, Chrysler TorqueFlites don't have a vacuum modulator.
		In fact, the TorqueFlite's "kick-down" is more akin to the TV-linkage on late-model automatic overdrive transmissions, which also don't have vacuum modulators.
		The only way around this is to go to a full-race reverse-shift-pattern manual valvebody that's set up to have full line pressure at all times.
