Re: [Chrysler300] trans fluid

[Michael Moore <mmoore8425@xxxxxxx>]

The design is certainly not intuitive, but the rubber bumper makes a huge difference. 
Mine works just fine with well over 300,000 miles on it, and has since I bought the H in 1964,-except for when I forgot to put the bumper back in and didn't realize how important it was .

Usually from being overtightened. As a result the belt will not be in alignment. Additionally, the rubber bumper in the mount is most always missing and contributes a slight vibration and out of alignment condition.

This is the third time it has happen when the car sits for a few days after I have driven it. I was wondering could it be leaking from the trans cable?
