RE: [Chrysler300] trans fluid

["Gary Nelson" <gnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have to over tighten a belt, I would try belt dressing. The pulleys
become polished and more likely to slip.

Tip:  Shift cables are prone to leaking. It is not easy to find that thin
rubber tubing the factory used. Try shrink tube. Get a size just large
enough to fit over the stem that inserts into the shift housing. Put a light
coat of RTV and shrink the tube. It makes a good seal and is flexible.

  Well, it was the fan belt. I was sure that one was tight enough. How about
your belts, Mike? Also, anything new on the trans leak?

  Hi Mike,

  Could be the cable. I had the same problem several years ago on my K. I
bought a used cable from a club member; it didn't look too good, but the
leak stopped.

  I also have a belt that squeals when I rev it up. I put all new belts on
it and still have the squeal. The K's going to the mechanic next Friday. He
thinks it's the power steering belt. Maybe he can get it tight enough. I'll
let you know how it turns out.

  Hi Group

  hen my 300k conv. sits for a few days I have a puddle of trans fluid on
the
  arage floor. I just had the oil changed and it did not have any leaks on
  he transmission case. This is the third time it has happen when the car
sits
  or a few days after I have driven it. I was wondering could it be leaking
from
  he trans cable?

  also have a problem with on of the belts. It squeals when I go over 40
mph.
  hey seem to be tight. I did have the radiator over heat and maybe that is
  ausing the squealing. Thanks for your help with my two concerns.
