Subject: tranny fluid

 Hello All,Don Verity is absolutly correct! New Tranny fluid is the most
highly detergent lubricant available.for example, when you spill some ATF
on a dirty garage floor and wipe it up, you have a fairly clean spot where
it was laying.Therefore when you do a fluid change, it is important
to"clean" the trans before putting in the new ATF.Sludge and Varnish
caused by heat (and trannys get hot) tends to build up on all the internal
parts and the trans casing.The best and easiest way to do this is to flush
the entire system with a detergent chemical that is a non-solvent. and
then replace the old fluid with the new. This can be accomplished by
looking for a local service center that has a "WYNNS" trans-serve machine.
This is the only trans service that is approved by ALL the major auto
manufacturers. BUT please take note that they do not suggest doing this to
vehicles that have not been serviced for 60,000 or more miles.There is
alot more to discuss about trans flushing and anyone with a Wynns flush
machine could probably help you answer flushing questions. If anyone has
any questions about this, feel free to email me. Oh, by the way,I am a
certified lubricant specialist and regional manager for K-CEE
distributing" Wynn oil Co."         300ly,
                           Larry Meixner-----300G

Rusty,
I have learned that a good single viscosity oil is best, like 30 wt. If
car 
has plenty of miles and the fact that it is summer I would use 40 wt. I
can 
not remember the specific reason a multi viscosity is not recommended. 
Maybe someone one the server can pick up on that issue.
As far as ATF, although Mopar calls for Dextron II, Type F is the
preferred 
oil. It is less slippery and works better with clutches and bands. This is

obvious. Make sure they drain the torque converter also. Good luck on that

trip. Hope that A/C is up to snuff. At least I know you have a spare water

pump.

Subject: 300-K Tilt Wheel Horn Button Sought

Hi gang:

       Does anyone know whether the horn button for the tilt steering
wheel 
on the 300-K is different from the non-tilt?  Can someone give me the part

number for the tilt version, if it is and, finally, would anyone have one 
available, by any chance?  

Thanks,

Pete Fitch
