Re: [Chrysler300] 57 transmission problem

[Phil Courant - ACCF <accf-club@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
If you've the forward clutch driving in neutral, two solutions (except 
the one with a bad cable adjustement)
- Contamined transmission fluid (with water or liquid coolant) , the 
clutches have "inflated" so they are always engaged.
- bad "travel of clutch pressure plate" see page 316 of the 57 FSM : too 
tight and the clutches are always engaged.
i've encountered the two !!

PS: if you need some pics about how to measure the travel, let me know..
