Im gonna attempt to adjust my clutch on the 53 desoto. it seems that when i get it in gear it gets stuck in gear. i have to fight it to go into any gear and i feel the pedal is just going down to the floor. any help or tips before i get stuck are greatly appreciated it!

did this one get figured out???

well here in california we have very cold col cold wind!

I got it to go into reverse once and then it stop going into reverse..i figure it was the shifting rods since i had cobble up one crazy idea with an old tractor choke cable. and now i cant get it to go into reverse even though the cable pulls it with ease ..i will have to look into it some more... :/

awesome! thanks for the info merle... Do you think this fluid coupling being low can cause hard shifting??

on the first picture Its the top small access cover. on the second picture you can kind of read it says fill here....and on the 3 picture you can see when open what it appears to be the fluid coupling...why would it have a filler hole if it shares the same fluid as the engine???/

I was going to check the fluid level on my transmission and to top it off in case that was causing my hard shifting....I can shift with ease when the car is off...when the car is on I can hardly go in gear... so I check the filler area and I notice a second filler spot. i believe its for the fluid coupling. Isn't the fluid coupling sharing the fluids from the engine?? I am not sure now... can you please help me figure it out...

great pics! thanks for sharing!!

congrats Don Jordan! purdy car and sounds like you are almost done! this weather out here isnt helping much! it is cold!!!

there is a wealth of imformation here! I am awaiting the anti-stall unit myself..i will report if i learn something this weekend..but with superbowl in the way and my dash freshly painted...its gonna be a long shot!

this might help you out like Greg G mentioned.... http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Lit/Master/012B/cover.htm

I have always liked his parts inventory and speedy delivery. his phone skills and personal attitude are not important to me as long as i get a fair part for a fair price!

glad you got it done in this bad weather! makes me feel guilty not working on mine here in Cali!

they look great!

i was wondering if the have sea-foam product out there!
