Your ULTRAMATIC transmission was a modern, well designed, good performing unit when it was new.
In the past 60+ years, both time and mileage have taken their toll on the performance and reliability of your ULTRAMATIC.

We have assembled rebuilding kits for all ULTRAMATIC. These kits will not only help restore the transmission to its
original condition, but will make it more reliable than new.

The bands and clutch (optional) are made of newly developed materials as used in GM cars instead of the
original cork. All critical seals are of the highest quality butyl-neoprene material.
