[Chrysler300] 70 300

[William Huff <whuff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Group,

Well, I just put my 70 300 land barge back on the road after rebuilding the 
engine and transmission. Everything worked great for about 10 miles. Then 
the tranny started to make a noise that sounded like a squeaky fan belt (it 
wasn't a belt, I checked). Shortly after that it started to lose forward 
gears. It still moves, but you have to rev the motor to make it go, it acts 
just like it is out of fluid. Putting it in drive produces no noticeable 
change until you rev, then it shudders and takes off. Putting it in reverse 
is still the normal bump, but the squeak stays all the time. Fluid is up to 
proper level and still nice and pink, no burnt smell. I have rebuilt 
several 727s, but never had a problem before. Anyone have any ideas on what 
to check for before (or after) I pull it back out.  Thanks.

On a happier subject, I installed the TTI headers and 2 1/2" exhaust 
system.  They are very good folks to work with.  The right header did not 
fit due to torsion bar interference.  They took the header back at their 
expense and found it had pulled during the welding process.  When they 
returned it to me, was able to put it on with about 3/8" torsion bar 
clearance from the collector.  So far, with new mounts all the way around, 
there is no contact.  It is a very nice looking and very good sounding exhaust.
