Hydromatic means nothing car related but, Hydramatic is a GM automatic transmission. The Hydramatic was the first fully automatic mass-produced transmission developed for passenger automobile use.

What is a hydromatic transmission?

Hydromatic transmissions were first offered in Cadillacs and GMC trucks in the late 40's early 50's. They became the transmission of choice in the '60's when B&M began modifying them for use in drag racing. This is the transmission that began it all for B&M and propelled all of the most popular gassers of the '60's. Not the same transmission as the Turbo Hydromatic that came out in mid '60's GM Muscle cars. Turbo hydros are an entirely different animal.

What automatic transmission was used with the 1973 Cadillac's 501 V8 engine?

400 Turbo-hydromatic transmission. FYI: The 501 was not the c.i. of the motor. It was a designation for the Cadillac engine family, which included the 472 c.i. and 500 c.i. engine. If your car is the Eldorado then it is the 500 c.i. engine. Other than the Eldorado, you have the 472 c.i.
