Years ago, George Riehl talked about 300-ifying transmissions for those cars that previously had their trans swapped to a standard Powerflite or Torqueflite when in for an overhaul. George would offer a rebuild service where the performance of any trans again would be as intended in a Letter Series, and I guess other specialists also can perform this job. Is there anywhere a procedure written for what differs between a 300 trans and a regular Powerflite, so I can present this to a transmission shop in my vicinity? My Powerflite was rebuilt 10 years ago by a transmission guy who happened to own a 55 NewYorker, and thereafter my transmission acted like it also was into a NewYorker. The car would not give kickdown on anything higher than 37 mph, while my memory of the old version was that kick-down could be had up to almost 50 mph and when floored the trans would not upshift before just nudging 60 mph (now only 50)? Regards from Norway Narve (bought my C-300 aged 25 and have sometimes driven fast with it. 80 mph on first when the trans was damaged and would not shift at all spring to mind. I also have been riding shotgun with George Riehl on Detroit area freeways in his 300J, which was an experience on its own) __._,_.___ Posted by: "Narve Nordanger" <flathead323@xxxxxxxxx> To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/all/manage/edit For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang __,_._,___ |
