RE: [Chrysler300] 55 transmission leakage

I spent a lot of time, effort and money to stop that puddle under our ’55 C-300 with about 85K miles on the clock. It was not the speedo cable or tranny insert and it was not the shift cable. It was torque converter leak down. I don’t know the specific parts but the wear was not immense. Proper new sleeves and seals stopped (most) of the problem. Still, I miss that messy Brute.

C300-less,

For years, my C300 has been leaking after parked for more than a few days.
My dad (the 40 year mechanic) said that is was the torque converter leaking
down. I had the trans pulled and diagnosed by a pro and he was convinced he
found two other leaks and even after my insistence he did not ship the
torque converter off to get sealed. Guess what? - SAME symptoms and he has
agreed to pull and repair for cost of parts only - but after Bentonville.

Anyone have any words of wisdom about trannie on a 55 loosing fluid when
sitting. Just had to replace around a quart of fluid in our 55 convert.
Probably the torque converter draining? Had it happen in a number of 60's
over the years but this is my first 55. Sure less fluid than in the later
ones.

At least I had a pan under it to collect the mess.___

Appreciate any guidance.
