Re: [FWDLK] cast iron torqueflite

Ed,

The cast iron TorqueFlight bears no resemblance to the aluminum
TorqueFlights. And I think you have a screen instead of a filter. If you
take the pan off to clean it, you might want to put in a transmission magnet
that will collect any iron particles that are generated later. In my 56, the
pan and torque converter have drain plugs.

These parts suppliers specialize in old tranny parts, back to 1940:

Transmission kits, hard parts, complete overhaul or external seals only:

Happy New Year List Members!
Our babies are a year older

Question on 57 Plymm cast iron torqueflite..........
A new year and time to change fluid.

Are pan gaskets available from local auto stores,,are they the same as the
later aluminum torqueflites???
If not where do you recommend I obtain a trans filter and gasket.  I would
think the rubber material is better than the cork.

Thank you
