PowerFlite/Torque-Flite Transmissions

If you were in the market for a push-button transmission, Plymouth was the way to go!  The Chrysler Corporation was virtually the only company that had moderate success with the push-button transmission system since it was the only one of its kind at the time that was mechanically controlled.  Buyer's had a choice of a PowerFlite or Torque-Flite push-button transmission.

PowerFlite - 2 speed automatic push-button available in all models.

Torque-Flite - 3 speed automatic push-button optional in the V8

                        Belvedere and Sport Suburban models.
