Th400 from a Rolls Royce

[Blazerteam]

Just one pic of a th400 from a RR i took 15 years ago.Me and a friend was in sweden,and came over a place where they did maintenance and restoration on RR and other high dollar cars.

I was reminded of it when i read one of the threads here.

Looks a lot diffrent than their GM ones.

Hmm, the spacing on those top bolts, I wonder what swap has occured more frequently, GM into a rolls
or vice-versa...

Thats actually not a 400 but a old Hydramatic. Rolls Royce used them in the early 60's.

Re: Th400 from a Rolls Royce

yeah, that IS a lot different than any TH400!

(and different from the domestic Hydro, which used stamped steel covers instead of cast aluminum, and a cast iron bellhousing).

Lincoln used the old Hydro also. And Checker used the CruiseOMatic with a Chevy bellhousing!

there's a lot to know, don't be embarrassed.

You never know when some little tidbit if info will be useful - to someone.

If memory serves (hey, I'm old!), those were the transmissions that Rolls used to power the brakes as well as acting as the trans. They tapped into the oil pressure of the trans and used it like a hydro boost type system. A friend has a '58RR, and I guess the brake system is a bugger to fix.
