Brad,

The hydramatic transmission manual was a separate manual and some of the
literature vendors have them.  They are basically the same manual for at
the years 55 thru at least 59.  I have the hydramatic transmission in my 58
GMC, but will take it out for rebuild ($400 plus parts) locally (Southeast
Michigan).  If it was a manual transmission I would do it myself.
