the Dynaflo of which I refering wasn't a mechanical clutch I just mean't that the turbine fins returned back to the regular position and worked like a normal convertor. The Turboglide was listed as a option for $50 over the powerglides.Although the Turboglide enternal workings are more similar to the Jetaway hydramatics, or 4speed Hydros using planetaries instead of bands and clutches, it still was 3 speed auto trans. If you put the shift lever in the GR posistion and left the starting line it would launch just like those old Hydros and Pontiac Jetaways for the first 10 feet HANG ON but once you moved the lever to Drive you had no control over the UPSHIFT. .....NHRA allowed those C-6 with 904 internals and C-4 replacement of cast iron cruisamatics, and Mopars used the same 904 stuff in the 727, If they disallow the GM guys the use of the Jeep 904 with the chevy bellhousing, because of the corporate rule all these years, why now with the Superstock Rule on 3 Speeds can they still discriminate a actual documented reality trans even for such a small number of guys who would really benefit from this ..IT MAKE NO SENSE, but common sense isn't THE NHRA'S strong point. You know its who you know not what is correct.Mopar and Ford has always paid to get the advantage over GM...the Shelby Mustangs were just allowed ,nobody ever had that combination running before NOW ITS LEGAL SURPRISE Ford went into there archive and low an behold poof SPECIFICATION on the lost arc. Now we proof that a TURBOGLIDE was available with documentation everywhere and its NOT LEGAL, come on Danny, Travis, Lang or whoever GET of the dime.
