  • Watercooled stude Transmission

    OK Is there a link I can go to find out about the watercooled transmissions? [:0]

    Had a 50 packard once.

    Probably not, you need the Studebaker shop Manual and the '59-'64 Studebaker Chassis Parts Catalog will also help to determine which parts are different.

    If you have any info like an old 1960's Motors Auto Repair Manual (from a Library if necessary) the info on the Studebaker Borg Warner Flight-O-Matic Trans. covers most of what you want to know.

    All of the vehicles with the Heavy Duty Flight-O-Matic or the Power Shift (floor Shift) have the cooling lines: Avantis, Taxi Cabs, Jet Thrust Avanti Powered Lark Types & Hawks, Trucks and special order vehicles had the cooling lines to the Radiator bottom tank and back, and OIL flowed through them to help the air cooling system cool the trans. for heavy duty usage.

    The Transmission CASE has the fittings on the right side, near the front, and is the main difference between air cooled and water and air cooled.

        Not much to look at, just a oil line in and out of a coil at the bottom of the radiator.
