| I have a 63 Riv with the nailhead engine and the original dynaflow transmission. I think dynaflow is the correct word. Can someone explain to me how this transmission works in sort of laymen terms. Are there gears? I can't seem to feel it shift no matter what I do. I know they only used it one year so what was the problem? Mine works great! | |

| Thanks robo. I guess I should have looked it up myself. I still like the way mine shifts but I am not young anymore and don't need the thrill of racing in my Riv. | |

| The Dynaflow was kind of the precursor to the switch pitch transmissions used in 65-67 Buicks, Cadillacs Oldsmobiles, and some Rolls Royces. I have one in my 70 GS. You can switch stall speeds (3200/1800) at the flick of a switch. Best street transmission ever. They work great. | |
