Problems Putting in the selector shaft seal
I still have one of the tools for a GM350 and 400 from a past life, but not one for Chrysler.
You can get them on Ebay, and this is the one for 904/727.

I used that one for my gm and it made that job very easy.
This one.....I found the smaller one (kickdown) harder to get in than the bigger one. Getting the clip in there was a tight fit.
The bigger one went in finally. I had to grind the threads off in the center of a bolt and use washers on top and bottom..
The filter was very old and the pan was full of dirt......or black stuff. Maybe friction material.
I then went to the speedometer housing and changed both of those. It was leaking some there as well.
Then went to the dip stick. Didn't know what size onring to get so I'm going to sort that out tomorrow.
What it was.....
I would park the car and the transmission would leak out all the fluid.
Where from......don't know....
Wasn't the pan....I know that....
I changed that gasket thinking it was the pan. It never was.
In fact......I would change all of them with any pan gasket change if I thought that's where it was leaking from.
Hopefully this fixes it.
I'm hoping the friction material wasn't from the lack of a kickdown linkage. I ran the car without it a few times.
It's all sorted now with the correct 340 kickdown rods and such with the 4 barrel conversion.
