out trying to fire up the 65 starfire today and wondering if anyone knows where i can find a complete 65 hydramatic transmission diagram ,,,, my 65 starfire's transmission wont go into gear , the guy i bought it from says theres a valve that needs to be messed with (check valve) and hes wont ever try to come fix it.... think hes a little jealous i have the car now and its my baby but i dont have the money to take it to a trans shop for full rebuild just wondering if anyone has any info thanx Robert.........

 

this is a link for a diagram for a 64, I am not sure if it is any good, let me know how it works out: http://64oldstrans.bravepages.com/index.htm

 

The 65 Sfire should have a turbo 400 switch pitch trans in it. This was the first year of this trans from GM......in 64 the Slim Jim trans was used behind the 394 while the 330 used the 2 speed Jetaway.....The factory shop manual will show all diagrams of the trans.....I can only suggest you look for one on Ebay.

 

no i know thats wrong its a turbo hydramatic i don know y but it is...... my car has the 425 big block in it so? but thanx for the lead anyways yeah i really didnt wanna buy one off ebay but im sure thats what will happennn thanx again have a good day

 

Cool avator, the car is almost as tall as the house. You may be able to get a manual from fusick or usa parts supplies.

Good luck finding what you need.

 

thanx i just found out how to make that today lol but yeha im into what they call donks in the u.s but yeah its tight ....thanx again for the info

 

Got fluid in it?

 

lol, thanx danny i see your pretty new to the forums.... anyways yeah i have fluid in it but u dont ever wanna overfill your trans ...... its nothing to do with fluid but thanx for the response enjoy classic olds and have a good day...

 

I got a good switch pitch tranny if anyone is looking for one...

Hello,

I have an electronic copy of the 1966 Oldsmobile Chassis Service Manual. It includes a chapter on transmissions, including the Turbo-Hydramatic 400. That should be identical to your 1965 model.

Unfortunately the manual is waaaaaay too big to fit as an attachment (369 MB). If you've got a place where I can upload it, I'd be happy to send it your way.

Mister

I am currently rebuilding my file server. It should be back online in a few weeks. I think I can provide ftp access at that time.
