Questions can usually be answered here.
If local hands-on repair is needed, it's helpful to know the Powershift is a version of one of the most long-lived and common automatic transmissions. It was manufactured by Borg-Warner and used in millions of Fords, Mercurys, AMCs, International and several others.

The coolant return line connects to the trans, as you would expect. You can see an illustration on p. 97 of the Dec., 1963 Avanti parts catalog.Don Wilson, Centralia, WA

thanks, ddub, correct, but does this return line once it enters the trans. it goes up and and over valve body does it connect to something, or does it just dumps fluid. mine is not connected to anything and i don't know if that is correct or it has become loose. the trans. is still in car and i don't to pull it, send to trans. shop if i don't have to. i hope this explains. tks chas.

I dunno, but I would guess it just dumps into the pool. Some one with real knowledge should show up soon.Don Wilson, Centralia, WA

Your observation is correct. The returned fluid is squirted or 'dumped' under pressure from the open end of the steel tube towards the front band 'gap'. (This front band is wider in Avanti and HD automatic transmissions than in standard Studebaker Flightomatics.)

Are there differences in these transmissions between car brands or are they exactly the same?Originally posted by PackardV8 View PostQuestions can usually be answered here.

Yes, there are differences in bell housings, tailshafts, valve bodies and bands, even between Studebakers.
No, nothing which should bother a transmission shop. They should have access to the books/microfiche/discs which show exactly what was used in exactly which make model and year.
