Re: [Chrysler300] tranny fluid

["Roger Schaaf" <obiwan10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hemmings "Classic Car" June 2005 issue has a rather comprehensive article on 
the Chrysler's development of the Torqueflight.  Goes into quite some detail 
on the internal engineering of it and the various options that Chrysler 
explored before choosing a 3 speed torque converter approach(instead of say 
a 4 speed fluid coupling(ala Hydramatic).  Also an article on the "C", "D" 
and "E" with some good pics and another article(short) on the "F".
