Re: [Chrysler300] Torqueflite Question

Yes, they are related. The O-ring seal for the T - Q even in newly rebuilt units does not fit properly. (It is not clear if the O ring id is off [due to China manufacturing] or if the shaft is worn just enough), To allow the leak down after some undetermined period of sitting. 
The fluid usually residing in the T Q now will fill (or more properly over fill) the sump of the tranny. When this occurs fluid will find one of several ways out; Usually the dip stick tube./ Since this has happened to me in several brands of trans' and cars I am lead to believe it is not the O ring but the ware. This could be eliminated if someone would find out how to replace the standard spec O ring with one just a slight bit more fat on the I-D.

My 300F tranny experiences the not-uncommon problem of torque converter drainback, where it may take 15 or 20 seconds to engage, after the car has set for several days. The transmission also leaks, seemingly from the area of the front seal, also after setting for several days. Are these two problems related? Terry McTaggart in springlike Dayton Ohio.
