Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / May 2005F-O-Matic woes
My newly acquired '57 GH Flight-O-Matic is not well. I thought it was just low fliud, now I may have overfilled it, but it is slipping badly in low and reverse is almost gone. Is band adjustment indicated? Where do I find those procedures? Are they well defined in the shop manual which I don't have...yet? > My newly acquired '57 GH Flight-O-Matic is not well.

Go to the library, and photo copy the adjustment page from a Motor's Repair Manual 1960's vintage. They will give actual inch pound and foot pound readings. The factory manual mentions using special over-running tools. You need to drop the pan to adjust the front band. The reverse band is external, near the dipstick. KK Keith, Thanks for the tip, I'll try that. How about the overfill, is that injurious? What kind of contemporary ATF should I use? Jerry >>My newly acquired '57 GH Flight-O-Matic is not well.
