Re: [Chrysler300] Transmission Wet Burps on a '57

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Dave, you sucked me in on this one!  (OK,I was looking something else  up 
anyway!)
 
The transmission filler tube part number for Torqueflite Chryslers was  
changed as follows:
 
1956-----PN 1671764
1957, up to 300C engine #1338, (approx. early Feb.) PN 1731174.
1957 after engine #1338, PN 1823690
1958 up to 300D engine #1566, (approx mid/late Feb.) still PN 1823690
1958 after engine #1566, PN 1853760
1959 ----PN 1941634.  This could certainly be due to bracket changes  for 
the new "B" engine.
 
Perhaps of more---but not much more---significance, the oil level indicator 
 PN was also changed at 300C engine #1338, and again for 1959. 
 
What can one conclude from the above?  Not much, I would say, without  the 
engineering drawings or known original parts to compare differences.

Somepone do some research on this as  to the different dipstick tube asslys 
from 55 up through 59.
Should shed  some light on this issue
