Additional Notes

  • The Hudson Pacemaker automatic transmission fluid capacity is listed at 10.4 liters, a figure typical of full-system fills that account for the fluid held within the torque converter, valve body, and transmission case combined.
  • A check interval of 1,000 miles is specified under normal use conditions, reflecting the relatively short monitoring cycle common to early automatic transmission designs of the era.
  • The change interval under normal use is set at 25,000 miles, which represents a relatively extended drain period for a mid-century automatic transmission fluid service schedule.
  • A single specification row covers the entire 1949-1952 model range of the Pacemaker, indicating no variation in automatic transmission fluid capacity or service intervals across those model years.
