Now, I noticed it is losing forward gear and was down 3 quarts with no evidence of leaking! It slips into first but getting worse. I had been driving the car lightly for about 100 miles prior with no trans problems. It goes right into reverse still though. Band adjustment or converter going? It is a street strip trans but a used converter. Help! 5000448-belvyvero.jpg (35 downloads)

The forward clutch is aplied in 3rd & reverse. My bet is all of these components are at least some what functional. How ever the direct clutch is applied only in all 3 forward gears. I believe it is failed causing your problem. I wouldn't mess around,just pull it and repair it. These transmisions are very simple to repair. Get a good book or find some one local to help. Not very costly either. Most of my stock Torque flite rebuilds cost less than $100 in parts. Doug

Direct Clutch..Correction Chrysler calls it the rear clutch...I was a Ford Tech they call it a Direct Clutch...Here's a clutch & band apply chart... http://www.mopar1.us/clutchstall.html Last edited by 1_WILD_RT; 02/04/09 04:58 PM.

(if the fluid level is corrected first) When GM/Ford terminology is used on Mopars it creates some confusion. direct/forward= GM/Ford front/rear= Mopar. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

Easy to tell if you have a bunch of crud in the pan. Is it full now? I broke the gov'ner assembly in that old red 69...I had 1st and Rev and that was it. Does't really sound they same though. At least the weather looks nice. We had snow and cold today..yeah!

Been a Mopar tech since 1986 and we use the terms front and rear clutch and as said the rear clutch is applied in all forward gears and is most likely your problem. Good luck with it.
