Frozen clutch disc again...cold damp weather?. With the engine off... wheels locked/blocked... put it in 3rd... push clutch in.... try cranking over starter.... if the disc was the issue it should quickly break free. Heat, moisture, freezing can stick a clutch disc if the engine didn't get hot enough to heat soak all parts.

No... Plymouth is different.

I went through both my 1953 and 1954 Chrysler Shop manuals to understand this proper lube of the spline joint... The 1940-52 Chryslers use grease on the splined slip joint. A grease fitting is on the splined yoke on the early cars. The 1953 and 54 Chrysler made a change to lube as you have made me aware of.... Thank you on that. Some info out of both the 1953 ad 54 Chrysler Shop manuals..

No gear lube oil is used on any old MoPar center driveline carriers except maybe the 30's cars...BIG CW Imperial Airflow, LB Chrysler's CG's etc... see photo... They take up to 2 pints of lube oil. Also shown are the 1954 Windsor Six Chrysler "Winged U-Joints"....... very hard to find. You can see the slip joint threaded cap and in the middle you can just see the excess grease bleed off hole...

That's because the reverse/forward shift linkage adjustment is changing as the car is lifted... loose worn engine mounts are likely the cause but..adjusting the forward/reverse linkage rod and taking out the excess slop should fix this. As mentioned in the other thread already posted.

A good Packard does not need a conversion to 12 volts.....hackers.

He might be talking about these retainer springs used on the heavy chassis Chrysler brakes... eight cylinder and wagon 12" brakes ...they are similar to bendix brakes... There is a pin, rubber inner insulator, steel tube sleeve, spring and retainer cap.

The reverse adj. on early M-6 1949 -50 Chrysler transmissions can be located either at the transmission shifter cover of at the shift rod at the fire wall... If you over adjust too much one way or the other you will not be able to get reverse or too far the other way no forward....just remove the excess slop in the rod... no more.

The 1949 Royal Woodie arm rests are covered with Tolex and are shaped different. So no they are not the same.

I spoke too soon..... the seal you show is the OE correct style. I thought mentioned was the later two piece as I mentioned...typical front crank seal with a separate external felt dust seal pushed into the back of the pulley.🙄

No slinger or Felt seal is used on the Chrysler Straight eights. They don't leak with a good pulley hub surface and the correct seal. The felt washer was used on the 1953 on up 23" and 25" engines if the crank pulley had the recess and prongs in it to hold the felt dust seal from rotating in the pulley.

Awesome!
