Re: [Chrysler300] runaway on 2-3 upshift ('57 Torqueflite)

[Bruce Paul <b_paul_ncp@xxxx>]

Hi Philippe,

This sounds like a problem that I encountered about a
year after I rebuilt the Torqueflite in my G. The
problem turned out to be the reverse band adjustment.
Possibly due to initial wear on the new reverse band,
I readjusted it per the manual and the problem
disappeared and has not come back.
