Chuck - thanks for your reply to my post. The only way to really make it work is to get the pieces and parts together and start fitting them. I don't recall how the automatic worked on that trike but it sure sounded neat hearing it shift like it did. The guy who owned the trike told me that he knew a guy who had worked on those transmissions and that the insides were like a miniature version of a chevy turbo 350 transmission.
I'll do some digging and see if I can come up with some good information on them. What I'm running into now is that my wife and I want to go 100% air-cooled VW for our automotive needs with the exception of winter time. I refuse to drive my stuff in the snow and salt. However, until she gets used to the driving patterns here (they drive on the other side of the road in Australia), we've located a one owner 1964 Ford Fairlane with an automatic transmission. It's old yes, but I can work on it and by and large, I just don't like Fords that well. It's still a classic though and we'll take care of it until she can transition into a bug.
