I know this question is out of range of the cars on this
list, but hopefully someone has the answer to this problem.
A friend of mine has a 1942 DeSoto with the tip toe fluid
drive. While restoring the car and working on the transmission, emptied
the fluid from the torque converter. It was thick fluid, like oil, not
transmission fluid. All he has to go by is the 1942 mopar part number which
crosses to nothing else. I believe whatever was in there was intended to
last the life of the car. The only way to add or empty it was to remove the plug
from the torque converter. We know the transmission oil level tag states
10W non detergent, but no specs on the converter. Any comments will be
appreciated. I own a 1952 DeSoto with the same transmission, but never had
a problem. Thanks...
