[Chrysler300] Using Dextron 5 in an Aluminum Torqueflight

["Mark Lindahl" <mplindahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

I had my '63 torqueflight rebuilt last year, but it needed to be
readjusted/rebuilt again since the car moved forward (slight creep) when the
engine was revved in neutral.

I think they did not pay attention to the gap need in the clutches.   When I
brought the 300 back to them, I asked them to use 'Type F' trans fluid.

 

Now, it is done and I asked the guy, 'Did you use Type F Trans fluid?' 

His response was, 'No, but we used Dextron 5 synthetic fluid and it really
is a better trans fluid and it should work fine.'

He told me to drive the car and bring it back if I find any issues.

 

Should I expect to have any short-term or long-term problems?

 

Thanks,

Mark Lindahl

'63 300 Conv.
