Re: [Chrysler300] tranny

Hi Cal and Sara,
Invest in a couple of cans of brake clean and throughly clean that area of
the transmission. I'm pretty sure what you will find is that it is leaking
out of the kickdown lever shaft seal. Very common problem. Especially on
cars that sit alot. The torque converter drains back and fills the trans
case to the point where the seal can't hold it back. The seal should be
available at your local transmission rebuilder. See someone at a reputable
transmission shop for problems involving transmissions. Regular mechanics
have little if any knowledge about transmissions. Any good tranny guy could
have your unit on the ground in less than a hour. The seal does not require
trans removal BTW. You can handle that yourself. Email me privately if you
run into trouble, or need the seal.
300ly,
Don

Local mechanic told me it would cost more to take the tranny out of the car
than to have the whole transmission rebuilt. Can I take this thing out
myself? I built my garage with a 4' wide x 5'deep x 13' long pit for oil
changes. Would this help? I doubt if this has ever been apart. Any advice
would be appreciated. Cal and Sara
