Have you done a forum search for an answer to your question? Access is under the floorboard but details can be found with a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatS.... Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) This is a 49 Chrysler floor with the access holes. The fill hole is the furthest to the firewall. Behind that is the hole in the bellhousing for the fluid coupling fill plug...the fluid coupling needs to be turned to place the fill plug in line with the access hole.

Rusty O'Toole Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Good pics of the access ports. The one at the front is directly below the dash, on the right side of the trans tunnel. Roll back the carpet and there it is. Take off the cover plate and underneath, is the bellhousing. It has a round hole with a snap in cover. Pry the cover off. Inside is the fluid drive. Bump the starter until the plug comes into view. Remove the plug and top up the oil. Use SAE 10 motor oil non detergent or TDH tractor fluid, ISO 22 or 32 grade. 22 is closer to original spec if you can get it but 32 is just as good. TDH stands for transmission, differential and hydraulic fluid. You can get it at Walmart or auto parts stores or farm supply places. Before you take out the plug, stuff a rag around the hole. This will save you from accidentally dropping the plug on the floor, or even worse, inside the bellhousing. Chrysler said the fluid drive never needs changing, just top up every 10,000 miles. It is a sealed unit, no dirt or air can get in and only one moving part. Edited May 30, 2012 by Rusty O'Toole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
