I had a 55 Mercury and a 1963 Rambler with the planetary (?) O/D, where you
let up on the gas to engage, and hit the accelerator to disengage. One thing I
did like, was the ability to go into 2nd O/D. You shift into 2nd, take your
foot off the gas, and you're in a great gear to climb steep hills, or tow a
heavy load. It was especially good with the little tiny engine in that
Rambler. With the a/c on, going uphill ! Bob K in PHX
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
