Re: [Chrysler300] 1843229

Hi John and All:
PN 1843 229 is a "Gasket and Seal Package--front and rear clutch and input  
shaft".  It is listed for all cars w/Torqueflite 1957-58, plus the few 1956  
models so equipped.  It also appears in the 1959 thru 1961 parts  books. 
I will leave it up to the "Cast Iron TF Gurus" to comment on its ability to  
help with your problem.
300ly, Gil

Hi all  you cast iron TF gurus out there.

I was at a swap meet yesterday and  came across an unopened large square 
package/envelope labeled 1843229 gasket  package.

Inside was a large piece of cardboard to protect what appears  to be a cork 
pan gasket for a cast iron torqueflite transmission, along with a  bunch of 
'soft' rubber type o-rings and seals, and a bunch of snap rings of  various 
diameters.

Anybody care to venture a guess as to what this  is?

I know there's been a lot of talk lately regarding TF's that leak  when left 
sitting, and my G is no exception.  I'm wondering if some of  these do-dads in 
this package could help to stop my leaks.

It's bone  dry under my car as long as it's driving.  The problem occurs when 
it  sits for more than a week.

I hate to even think about winter storage  before Labor Day weekend, but it 
would be nice to put the car away this winter  and not see a pint and a half of 
tranny fluid in the pan beneath the car next  spring.

I don't have access to a lift, and driving the car up on ramps  under the 
front tires and leaving it that way for a few days doesn't simulate  the long 
term level parking that causes the leak.

I may bite the bullet  and go to my local tranny shop (I've used them in the 
past with good results)  with this bag of goodies and just tell them to 'stop 
the leak' and to feel  free to use any of the stuff in the package.

The person selling this  item said that they might have more at home, and 
would check before next  months swap meet.

Let me know if anyone is interested if they have any  more of these.

I could lay out all the pieces and take a photo if  anyone wants/needs one to 
help identify this  kit.

John
