1953 imperial

[jcmartin@xxxxxxxxx (Jim Martin)]

     Correct me if I am wrong. In 1953, the transmission used with fluid
drive uses
non-detergent 10W motor oil.
     In 1953 the Powerflite automatic Transmission uses automatic
transmission fluid. (Type unknown)

The is a person that advertises in the WPC newsletter with 10W non-detergent oil for Chrysler transmissions. The add doesn't say what year range this is used on. He is getting $15.00 for 2 quarts which includes the shipping cost.

If your trans fluid is clear it is what they called a
type c fluid.  I had the same in my 55 and it is
compatable with the Dextron varieties.  Mine had a
screeen rather than a filter thank god.  Changed the
oil and it was fine.  Trans fluid in the power
steerring i'm not sure about. does it go off the back
of the generator?  I use clear power steering fluid i
mine and the filters are the same as the 58 ford power
steeing units and can be bought at Galleys Filters.
RC  good luck
