Re: [Chrysler300] Torqueflite question

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxx>]

Hi;
It could also be slack in the driveline. Check the U-joints and the Pinion
play. Lock the rear wheels and see how much play you have in the joints and
then with the trans in Park, twist the pinion yoke one way until it stops,
and then see how much it rotates the other way before stoping.
Get pleanty of expert advice at the Spring Meet in May, you're pretty close.
300 l'y, Ray Jones
