I don't ever see any Super Hydramatics or Roto 10 Slim Jims for sale.
One guy on Ebay rebuilds Super Hydramatic -Olds Jetaway Transmissions.
$2,500 some dollars exchanged.
GM stopped making them that's what happens. Not everyone tossed either type of trans. I have a perfectly healthy 63 Catalina that has it's original Roto and it works very well. Most were not converted to stick shift. In the late 60's and early 70's most of the converted ones were converted to T-400. Now there has been quite a few going to 200R4 or 7004r.
