1. Free wheel roller retainers for the R 11 overdrive now are being shipped from the Factory as service replacement retainers for R 9 over drives of the four pinion type These retainers are carried under part number 347580 Retainers for the four pinion type R 9 overdrives also were carried under part number 347580 before the adoption of the R 11 unit How ever these retainers differed from those now being shipped in that four stops or tabs were used where as the present retainer has only two These early four tab type re tainers in Dealer stock may be used in R 11 overdrives after re moving the two tabs which are near the retainer spring holes To remove the tabs place the retainer on a hard flat surface and using a cold chisel cut the tab off l inch from its end and repeat the operation on the opposite side The sharp edges in the retainer then should be filed flat as shown PRINTED INU S A A a2. VOL 23 NO 6 Service Product Report Forms The Service Product Report form V 482 1 is designed and used for the purpose of obtaining quick reports of product failures At the factory they are reviewed and immediately referred to the Engineering Manufacturing or Inspection Departments for the attention indicated They are sum marized each two weeks and once a month those requiring such attention are reported to a Manage ment Committee Thus it can be seen that the number of reports on a given item and the promptness with which they are received definitely determines when and what corrective action will be taken If a more or less chronic condition develops in the field and the reports are not sent in promptly and in quantity this unsatisfactory condition can continue in production to such an extent that it would be entirely possible for several thousand cars to be built with a condition that could easily have been corrected had the reports been received promptly Service Product Reports to properly serve their purpose must be received quickly after the con dition reported is found in the field Product reports may be cross referenced to RFA s but the origi nal copy of the report should never be held until the RFA is made out otherwise a lapse of 30 to 60 days could easily occur All corrections or improvements made in Packard cars as the result of Product Reports are written up in either Service Technical Bulletins or in the Service

6. Replacement In the Service Manual Section I under Fluid Replacement we recommend changing the hydraulic fluid and cleaning the reservoir at 5 000 mile intervals or each spring and fall Normally changing the fluid as recommended will keep the system free from dirt and corrosion how ever more frequent changes are recommended if the vehicles are washed daily or oftener such as those in commercial service Dirt and water may find their way into the fluid and be carried through the system and the water especially may cause trouble through corro sion of the zinc and aluminum parts The fluid in the system of those vehicles which receive these fre quent washings should be changed four or five times a year Following this recommendation will reduce the possibility of having to replace hydraulic cylinders or other parts at a later date Oil Level Indicators 92nd Series All Models The accompanying illustration will serve as a ready reference to identify the oil level indicators used in 22nd Series engines The di mensions shown are approximate since the cup shaped washer may be shifted slightly which results in a slight variation in the measure ment A Taxicab and Export Six B Eight and Super 8 with Suffix Letters A C or None C Eight and Super 8 with Suffix Letters CD CE D E D Custom 8 33 Clutch Fails to Release Properly 29nd Series Failure of the clutch to release properly result
