1998 CADILLAC DEVILLE transmission

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine fmest documents ever written. It was published following the introduction of the first production
VS engine,
which was standard in
all Cadillacs beginning with the
1915 model.
Many Cadillac "firsts" have followed over the years, including the synchro-mech clashless transmission, a
nationwide comprehensive service policy, security plate glass, chrome plating and the first car to be designed by
a stylist (1927 LaSallelHarley Earl). The
'30s witnessed
production of the powerful, smooth and quiet V12 and
V16 engines. The crisp, contemporary lines of the 1938
60 Special series ushered in a new era in styling.

During World War 11, shortly after Pearl Harbor,
Cadillac discontinued car production for the first time
since 1902 in order to construct light tanks, combat
vehicles and internal
parts for Allison V17 10 engines.
Two Cadillac
V8 engines and Hydra-Matic
transmissions were used in each MSAI and M24 tanks.
