Best Answer

If your transmission is original, it is the Roto Hydramatic model 10, known as the "slim jim". Its torque converter (actually a fluid coupling with a simple stator) is inside the transmission, behind the pump. There is a nothing but a damper plate out in front where you would find a torque converter on a more conventional automatic.

The torque converter actually fills and drains in order to shift. It is full in first gear, then for second gear, that coupling empties and a clutch applies that connects the engine directly to the rear wheels through a gear reduction. Then for third gear, the coupling fills again, while that direct clutch remains applied.

This converter is not 'user serviceable', and no high-stall aftermarket parts are available. Unfortunately, cracks in the aluminum coupling housing are common, and the most common symptom is slipping in first gear.
