Wire harness

[BobDeSoto]

I am working on the tip toe transmission in a 1951 DeSoto.

Where can I get a new wiring harness?

Also try Rhode Island Wiring. They put out a quality product and I have delt with them before.

I can vouch for Rhode Island,   but the M 6  or Tip Toe has only about 3 wires,  it is pretty simple to make.

RI Wiring is the place to call.

Send them your old set and they'll reproduce it.

got one from YNZ - looks great.

 

Tip Toe transmission is a DeSoto thing.  Two speed transmission with high and low range (= four speed).

 

Low range is seldom used.

Usually you drive with the high range.  Once in gear you don't need to use the clutch.

Press the gas and go, when you are at about 20 mph let up on the gas and it shifts into high.

When you come to a stop sign you only have to use the brake, even when you're stopped.

When the light changes - repeat

Many names for this transmission. Chrysler Fluid Torque drive. Plymouth Hy-Drive. Desoto Tip-Toe. Dodge Simplimatic. All the same I believe. Sturdy rugged simple tranny.

The Hydrive was not a semi automatic .  It was a three speed manual driven by a torque converter.
