The 1941 Cadillac Hydra-Matic Drive Shop Manual is a high-quality, authorized, licensed, PRINT reproduction of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shop manual, which was written and first published by the experts at Cadillac Motor Car Division. This repair manual covers the construction, operation, adjustment and repair of the Hydra-Matic drive as used on the 1941 Cadillac automobiles. It might be difficult to think of a time before the automatic transmission was a common item, but in 1941 it was still a bit of an engineering marvel. This manual describes the act of driving with the Hydra-Matic as such, "The Hydra-Matic Drive simplifies driving almost beyond belief. The only control relating to power transmission is the small lever (Fig. 1) which is used to select neutral, reverse or one of the two forward speed ranges. Once the car is started, the driver is concerned only with the steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedal."

The contents of this service manual include: General Description, Minor Service Operations (such as: lubrication, adjustment of idling speed, throttle linkage, front and rear bands, etc), Major Service Operations (such as: checking pump pressure, removal of Hydra-Matic Drive from car, removal of fluid coupling, checking end-play of main shaft, etc.), Specifications, Noise Diagnosis, Diagnosis of Transmission Operation, Torque Tightnesses and a list of special tools. Complimenting the thorough text throughout the guide are a large number of cross-section diagrams, exploded-view illustrations, graphs (such as "Speeds at Which Gears Up-Shift"), and black and white photos.
