Re: [FWDLK] Transmission Fluid
One point that I forgot to mention that shows this guy does not know what he
is talking about and is not quoting from any Chrysler service bulletin :

There is no such thing as a cast iron 727 transmission - they are all
aluminum case, right from the first 727 in 1962.   The 904 was also aluminum
case right from the first one in 1960.

If this was from a Chrysler service bulletin, the bulletin would refer to
the cast iron Torqueflite by its correct designation - A-633.

Hi Joe,

I have pasted in a recommendation from the Chrysler300Club.com tech area. We
use Type F or FA, which is readily available, in our cast iron 727 trannys.

Q: I am getting many different answers as to what lube to use in my 4 speed
A833 transmission. What is correct?
A: Chrysler service bulletins designate "automatic transmission fluid". This
fluid should be Type F or Type FA. This fluid should also be used on all
cast iron 727 and 904 transmissions. Do not use Type A Suffix A, or any
Dexron or Mercon.

Hello, All,

I have a question that I am certain has been asked and answered before, but
I can't dig a reliable answer out of my records.

I am changing engines in my Chrysler.  The donor engine/transmission is a
1959 Saratoga 383 with a cast iron torqueflite.  I believe that the original
fluid is type "A", which is no longer available.  Can you suggest a suitable
substitute?

Thanks to all,

Joe Savard
