OT - looking for a '55caddy transmission

[Cpt.Fred]

hey, i know it's not a plymouth thing, but i thought if anyone would know, then most likely one of you:

a friend of mine here in berlin has trouble with the tranny of his '55 series62 caddillac transmission, when it is warm the gears will pop out from time to time.

he is now looking for a spare one to get an overhaul over there on your side of the ocean and then being shipped here afterwards.

we do have an adress and a shop specialized in fixing these trannys in raleigh, north virginia (i guess, or was it south:) ), so anyone who has one wouldn't have too much trouble with the shipping and all.

it would be so great if anyone here could help! thanks!

Greetings Capt, Fred

I own a 55 Caddy series 62 2dr hardtop, let me see if I can't find one local for you. I remember talking to a guy locally a while ago who said he had a bunch of caddy parts to get rid of. I think they used this transmision onmore than one year.

[Cpt.Fred]

Great!

i can get you exact numbers if you need, just pm!

thanks in advance,

fred

Fred.........did your mate break the caddy trans trying to pull the brake drum off?.......sorry..........poor excuse for humour......have you got the drum off yet?........andyd

[Cpt.Fred]

humor? good idea! i'll buy a decent rope tomorrow and go ask him to play the tow truck:D

no, i haven't yet, and i didn't even try. got my carb back from the cleaning and build it up tomorrow. when she runs again i'll put a beer case in for a seat and drive some circles in the yard, trying to get the drums of that way. we'll see...

i'll tell you when i beat them.

tranny would be great though, the guy's desperate!

we had someone from the US selling a motor and tranny, but he suddenly decided not to ship them, we told him he wouldn't have to get them over here and gave him the raleigh-adress, but he thinks we're too fishy, so he canceled the deal:(
