Re: [FWDLK] power steering problems

[Rog & Jan van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My '55 DeSoto FSM states, "Type of Fluid:  ATF, Type A."

My 1961 MoToRs Manual distinguishes between Chrysler Coaxial
Type [1954-58] and Chrysler Constant Control [1958-61]:

Coaxial:  "ATF"
Constant Control:  Doesn't say

My '66 Plymouth FSM says, "Type:  Constant Control Full Time
Power;" "Power Steering Fluid-- Part No. 2084329 or
equivalent.  DO NOT use Type "A" Transmission Fluid."
