Hydraglide rebuild
 

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a shop or individual in the San Diego area that can rebuild my Hydraglide. Also, could anyone tell me if I need to use the original shift linkage setup or can I use a shift cable assembly with original shifter and steering column?

Thanks!

Anyone? Buller?

Well, I tried to search for a rebuilder and didn't have any luck. However, I did come up with a parts supplier.

My suggestion would be to contact this outfit and ask if they have any customers who are commercial rebuilders, rather than DIY-ers.

Btw, you didn't say what kind of vehicle you have, so I assumed you were asking about the cast-iron 4 speed automatic transmission used in Chevy and GMC trucks in the 50s and early 60s. The only Hydraglide I am aware of is a Harley.

Thank you for that link and info. I am a idiot and confused Hydraglide with Hydramatic. It is of course the latter. I have a 1958 Apache, 3100. It has the 283 but this drive train is not the original that came with it.

Dude go see Rick at Transmasters in Encinitas next to Capt Kenos.
That guy is amazing and gets a good excuse to go to Kenos
