What is a push-button transmission and how is it different from a normal automatic/manual? Someone offered to sell me a Valiant with a push-button transmission and I don't know what it is.

that was dodges first edition of the automatic transmission ,they was basically the same as the newer ones with one exception, they operated off a cable system to engage them in gear instead of a linkage,you could still take a newer transmission and adapt it over to work with the cable system though ,that was done through a control center for it,we changed a few newer ones to work in some older car just because of the better reliability of the newer ones,i have owned several of those and when they was right they worked flawlessly,they did away with those in the mid 60,s though and all went to linkage for the control of them,,you also had to manually put those in park if you forgot the would roll away on you,good luck.
Push button transmissions are a automatic transmission with a push button instead of a leaver on the staring column or a shifter on the counsel. The trany you are talking about is a torque flight transmission. It is a bullet proof transmission. The engineers at Dodge would take Valiants with the push button transmissions in them and put their foot to the floor and hit forward then reverse over and over. The torque flight transmission is one of the best transmissions to come out of the 60's and 70's.
