Hi Keithb7. I have a 49 Desoto classic that is having trans problems and we are not finding the parts we need. If you have one how much would you sell it for ? I am in Utah and may need to take a road trip. Mine is the fluid drive tip toe M6. Thanks John phone 435-262-1000

THANK YOU James. I am trying to learn how to work this forum. Sorry I didn't get right back to you. I will send this info to the shop as it will help. Still no luck in finding parts. We will be contacting you. Thanks again.

Thanks for your info. I did check the oil level and had to put about a pint in. but that didn't help much. I will forward this info to the shop that is working on my car. So far no luck in finding parts. Thanks again.

Thanks for your input. I'm trying to learn how to work this forum, sorry I didn't respond sooner. I will see if I can find the Imperial website. My trans works fine in high range. pops out of 2nd gear in the low range. makes a scarry clunk noise and is free wheeling then.

I have a 1949 Desoto custom. She's got transmission problems. As in it won't stay in 2nd gear. It has the fluid drive tip toe trans. It starts out fine . shifts into second and go's for a while then pops out of gear with a loud clunk. I have taken it into a shop and it looks like the pump is bad and the housing and syncros also the speed blocking ring. Thats what they're telling me. I don't know that much about transmissions. Anyway We are not finding any parts for this trans. Can anyone steer me in a good direction where I might find parts?. Or someone who can machine the extention housing?. Or possibly buy one in good condition? Thanks
