All Dodges in the late 50's had the air cooled transmissions.It is claimed that the liquid cooled guys lived longer, but, otherwize, for the Fury/D500 variants, which were built to the 300-specs, with a 5th clutch disc, etc, the performance of the L-cooled units was not necessarily superior to that of the air cooled ones.I scored a CHRY-type liquid-cooled trannie, years ago, and had its cooler-unit be installed into my car's radiator's bottom tank, which was, then, plumbed to the L-cooled trannie's orifices.I retained the air cooled bell housing, but, back-then, installed a non-finned L-cooled T/Q. Dave H. later wrote to say that the A-cooled T/Q was an even-better solution, so, when my trannie went in for an O/H, in FEB, I located an A-cooled T/Q to be installed in it. So, no, I found and installed a different L-cooled trannie, to replace the car's OEM A-cooled unit. Neil Vedder deddee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Neil Was your trans an air cooled trans???
