RE: IML: Transmission question

["Karl" <karlsmail@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran into this problem recently with one of my 1960s.  I took it to a trany
shop and had them do a fluid filter and flush.  They will flush the trany
cooling system for about 10 minutes with a pump and solvent. And drain the
converter in the fluid change.

Hola Tony

Pleas drain and change the fluid in both the transmission pan and the torque

convertor.  There is a plug on the front area of the torque convertor that
is 
seen after you remove the lower protective cover that faces to the front.  

I have two filters on my '63.  One is in the pan and one is part of the line

to the front cooler.

The refill is going to be slow since that little tube with the dip stick
that 
is located in the rear right of the engine bay is the place.  That is a very

little hole for 18 Pts of Type "A" Automatic Fluid.  So have a big enough 
cover to keep the paint belt buckle free on the right fender.

This will take care of any possible problems from that angle.  If you take
it 
to one of those quick change places, the Torque Convertor still needs to be 
hand drained.  If you go this route, I would " supervise " them.
