I have a complete 1965 Stock Jetaway ST300 transmission package, everything from radiator to Lockup converter, correct numbered transmission for a 65 442, all lines, wiring, switches, correct 4GC carb for A/T, even a column and dash insert for the Jetaway. Perfect operating condition, in my daily driver 442. I am converting to 4 speed. Interested? You are welcome to drive before you buy if you like. Trans leaks and will need new seals. PM your contact information, preferably phone number. I am located in SW Florida.

I have a running yard driving 65 442 convertible restoration project with stock 65 400, carb, intake, exhaust manifolds etc. When I bought the car it had last been on the road in 2003. I believe motor may have been rebuilt because it is 330 gold vs bronze and found some cam paperwork in trunk. Bought to help a member out because he was relocating and didn’t have time to get running or space to store. I have running driving around the yard now.

I’m in Connecticut. Car has been in family since 1983. My father purchased it all original. Dropping a 455, turbo 400 and junking them was cool back then... 😔

..........1965 Stock Jetaway ST300 transmission package, everything from radiator to Lockup converter...... The '65 Jetaway did not have a lock-up convertor that I'm aware of.

Think it does, why else would it have electrical connections to the transmission. The Jetaway, I have been told, differs from the Powerglide because of the converter. I may be wrong, but this is what i have been told, and read. Perhaps the more learned senior members can clarify.

The electrical connections are for the "kick down" and the "switch pitch" torque convertor. The torque convertors in the Jetaway and the early ('65-'67) T-400 would actually change their "stall speed" by means of a solenoid operated valve on the front pump. I worked at an Olds dealership back in the early 70s, so I guess that I'm a senior member.

it's more like the opposite of a lock-up

So I guess I used the incorrect terminology. A thousand apologies to the offended. I will forever more refer to it as "switch Pitch". Regardless, it's still for sale, any takers out there?
