Guest Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 I have a long table in my garage. On the table, I had a totally disassembled Fluid Drive transmission and a completely torn down Dynaflow. The dog ran by and knocked out one of the table legs and down went the whole table and everything on it. Now I have 280,000 parts to figure out. That was my day. How was yours?

Guest Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Put it all together and you will have a Dynaslush transmission. ~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 More like a "FluidFlow" tranny. <BR> <P>Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Peter ~ Mere youth that you are, you don't remember when Fluid Drive was referred to as Slush A Matic back in the late '40s.<BR> ~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I'm afraid I'm no help to him. I'm only fimilar with the Powerslide trannys. You know the GM (God Made) stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I have a 47 Chrysler with a slush box HVS, so I'm familiar with the term. But I also witnessed at car show a few years back a 58 Buick (with a Dynaflow) puke up what looked like 3 gallons of fluid... and trust me... it looked like a "fluid flow". <P>Peter<p>[ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: peterg ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 On a more serious note some manuals such as Motor's, Chilton's, Glenn's have photos of disassembled trannies and/or exploded parts diagrams which were quite helpful to me in the past in identifying what goes where. You may also try to obtain copies of factory sevice bulletins which occasionally have good detail shots. Best of luck, Carleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Peter ~ My apologies! I forgot all about your Chrysler. However, you are still a yute. That is a good thing, believe me.<P>I know what you mean about Dynavomit. My newly [3 weeks ago] rebuilt '55 Dynaflow threw up all over the driveway last week. Seems the new torque ball seal separated from the metal housing. Very discouraging when new parts fail. Makes you wonder what will let go next. ~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 HVS <BR>At least it barfed all over the driveway. Usually they barf through the torque tube into the rear axle and you don't know it until those expensive noises start in the rear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 OK, the transmissions are a mess now, but is the dog still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Had a dog once. years ago had my Chrysler M6 semiauto tranny apart for rebuilding, had a tray of gasoline set on the floor next to me for cleaning purposes, the dog walks up, sniffs the tray and commences to DRINK the GASOLINE! Didn't know whether to laugh or cry and all of a sudden the dog starts to running about the yard fast as I ever seen him, must have been near 10 minutes of the fastest running a dog ever did when without warning the dog just stopped in his tracks and collapsed, brother Ed was looking out the window at the fun and yells to me "what happened to rover?" "ran out of gas" I replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
