Hi TI,
For transmission:
Car on level ground, engine running, fluids warmed up, trans in neutral. Watch out for the exhaust manifold. Ouch...
For engine oil Car on level ground, engine off, fluids cold.
Power steering can be checked warm or cold, engine off.

I finally got around to fooling with my Mopars.I pulled out the green 2 door for a wash and some fresh fuel and noticed a large puddle of transmission fluid seeping out from under the BluMo.I'm just gonna have it towed to the shop.bdyman says he knows a guy that can fix her right up.AAMCO fucked me real good on this one.On the positive side,the green Monaco polished up and ran like a champ.Had to show a few modern rice burners who the boss was on the expressway last night.

Great looking car! I love all your pics! I visited most of those places but I didnt have a Bluesmobile to take pics in front with. The new pushbars look great. Good job overall!

I can finally get my BluMo into the shop for that leaky transmission.What my wife and I call "Other peoples' bullshit" has prevented me from doing so sooner.

Got the BluMo out of the shop and she's running like a champ.Hopefully it will stay that way for a while so I can finish off the interior and markings.

Got the BluMo out of the shop and she's running like a champ. That good news, TI. I recall your trans giving you problems before. Let's hope that bullshit is now a thing of the past. Happy Motoring!

A 360 engine and burnouts don't go hand in hand.Gotta find some gravel,or something.

Yeah, I'm glad you got the trans fixed, and she's running sweet again. I know the pain.....I rebuilt my Falcon's C4 on the front porch earlier this year. It was daunting at first, but I figured what the hell, I can always buy another one, if I screw it up. Turned out to be easier than I thought, and it runs like a champ, now. That being said, I may tackle my 727 in future (assuming I need to)...I'll give anything a try, once! Rob
