Well I discovered yesterday that the transmission in the dart is slipping. Unfortunately that is not something I can fix at my house due to the lack of space.

I believe in putting the rear tires up off the ground and let it run in gear, top off trans fluid, put a little pull on the kick down rod , let it go threw the gears, set the kick down then drive it to test, if the kick down is not hooked up low pressure will mimic a slipping trans, don't run it that way or it will eat those clutches and bands up.

Torqueflites are pretty forgiving. Often times a fluid and filter change and tighten up the bands to sprc are all that's needed. Oh and make sure the kickdown is adjusted properly.

Morning all, day 2 of Pioneer Days. Yesterday did swap meet, today wife therapy this morning then go back look at over 400 tractors, 500 gas engines, stationary steam engines, and everything else in between. Pioneer Village has all the antique buildings of a small town. I drive my 59 Fury then no charge exhibitors

I am changing the valve covers tomorrow, and fixing a few interior seals, so I will ask my husband to give me a hand trying that. and just making sure everything else is tightened up with it. I checked the fluid last week and it was reading full, but the fluid has a burnt smell to it.

That's forbidden :lol: That only sits outside if I can finish the work on the dart in a day. I can't guarantee I would be able to get the trans done in that time frame. I tild him to go park the Chevelle at his parents. :rofl:

Mitch, on shovels the oil filter was designed for return side. Be sure you get filter accordingly. The modern Harley’s oil filter is on pressure side so big difference in oil filter/microns. I would look close behind tranny and see if there is not one hidden there? We typically weld in a mount at bottom of down tubes and relocate them there then put a cover over them for simplicity sake.

Yeah, it's definitely got no filter on it anywhere. I've been all over this bike like white on rice. They make a nice mount that goes right by the voltage regulator that also takes the filter. I think I will use one of those. I do know that there are different microns for the filters on early versus late bikes. Don't worry I got this. Lol
