Re: [Chrysler300] Transmission Wet Burps on a '57

[Bill Huff <czbill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The burping that I was speaking of, and that 
which I have experienced takes place on start up, 
when first engaging the transmission.  Doesn't 
seem the vent would play a part in that scenario, 
any residual pressure should have bled off long 
before.  Of course the vent should be clean, but 
I doubt it applies to this problem.
