How cold was it

[GTG3]

I drive my 65 4spd 4 door Dart every day almost that I don't need 4X4 or a truck so today I started it up to go on a small parts run. In nutral it wanted to pull ahead and I do have ATF in the trans. At 7AM it was-7 deg here in N.,E. Pa. and as much as 10 deg colder to the North.:cussing:
GEORGE!!

Yes, back when new there was somthing like a TSB from Mopar that in colder climate they recomended ATF for better shifting.

DO you have a 4 door Dart 65 with 4 speed? Those are really rare. Is it a V8 or a slant 6?

ATF was the factory fill for a lot of years.

It's the fill in my '02 Dakota 5-speed.

Interesting

I was wrenching when that car was new, and had never heard of it. The first I heard of ATF in a gear case, was our 98 Durango transfer case. I am surprised by it going into something that old, and would be even more surprised if it holds up.

It's 6 cyl with P/S .

When I pulled the truck out this morning the bend in the box was touching the cab...it froze to it. Scared the hell out of me when in flexed in reverse going down the hill.
