Re: [FWDLK] More Transmission questions..



Converter drainback seems to be a common problem on older automatics.Powerglides are especially prone to this but our 59 Rambler with Borg-Warner " Flashomatic" does this after sitting a couple of months. The Torque flite in my Plymouth does not however. The sheet of cardboard does keep the floor neat and it takes less than 1/2 quart to restore the level.

What might cause a bunch of transmission fluid to drain out of the transmission if my car is sitting for a while on level ground? The car is a 57 Dodge with a Powerflite. I'm pretty sure the mystery fluid was transmission fluid and I have no idea if it was a slow leak or all dumped out at once, but I have not seen or heard of (from previous owner) the car doing this before. The car sat in my driveway/parking lot in the condo for a few weeks and I didn't really notice any tranny type fluid underneath it at all. After moving the car to a garage, it probably sat for a month or two and when pulling out, I noticed the puddle underneath the car.

Anything in particular I should look for? Or has anyone had a similar problem?

Any ideas appreciated.

Garrett
