Re: [Chrysler300] Torque Converter Drainback / Leaky Tranny (Again)

Actually, the cast iron uses the exact same throttle shaft seal. It's under a flat washer, so you can't really see it easily.

  That is true, I wrote to the original poster that 
  they may or may not work on the cast iron transmission.

  On the 727 the throttle shaft seal is all rubber 
  and is easy to pick out and replace by hand. The 
  shifter shaft seal is not easy and has a metal 
  body, that is what this tool is for. On the cast 
  iron transmission, the throttle body seal looks 
  in pictures like the 727 shifter seal. I am not 
  where I can get to my transmissions, so that's as 
  far as my knowledge goes at this point.
