Re: [Chrysler300] Torqueflite trans

["John L. Chesnutt" <chesnutt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Al Peirish and others in the Northwest.

That best Torqueflite transmission man in the Northwest is Don Risor, owner
of Transmission & Brake Center, Inc. in Salem, Oregon.  Phone 503-581-3114.
He does all the tramissions for Club members in this area. He also has a
1957 300C Convertible which he has owned for 30 years or more. He also does
machine shop service on Brake cylinders, pumps and "Budd" disc brakes used
on early MoPar cars.

He has an ad in the Brute Force Magazine.

John & Arlys Chesnutt, Portland, OR     300C

Subject: [Chrysler300] Torqueflite trans


> I have been following some of the comments from others on the F
transmissions.  From my limited knowledge, I thought the Letter
transmissions from 1957-61 were very similar, if not the same.  While doing
some engine work on my C the other day, I noticed some teeth on the starter
ring were "chewed up".  My local transmission rebuilder offered no
encouragement for finding a new torque converter.  When I inquired about
rebuilding my trans, he said that parts were very difficult to find.  Is
this true?  What do you guys do?  Fortunately, my transmission still works,
but at 142,000 miles,  it might not work forever.
