New Member - Saying Hello
 
Hey there.
Just picked up a 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook.
Has 6 cyl, 3 speed on the tree manual trans.
Interior is brand new.
Exterior had an original color repaint over original paint.
Exterior is flawless except a few little scratches and dings here and there.
Underneath is decent, but has a few spots of rust holes in two or three of the body supports. Nothing structural and cant be seen very easily.
Runs perfectly.
Just had a few questions....
Not sure if it is the torque converter, or whatever it is called, but there is a metal pan, for lack of better word, between the engine and the transmission.
It has a small hole that looks like something was hit.
There is fluid leaking but nothing major. (unless everything that was in there is now gone)
Is this where the clutch is? If so, is the clutch hydraulic? and again, if so, where is the dipstick to check fluid level and do you fill it through that location?
I found the oil dipstick, haven't searched at all for the transmission dipstick as the car is not in my possession at this time.
Also, anyone have a good source for 6 volt heater blower motor?
Thanks.

Thanks, feels good to be welcomed.
I tracked down a 6 volt blower motor and fan on ebay.
Its for a 1949 Plymouth, hope it works for my 1952.
Still haven't found any answers on the transmission.
Will keep looking.
I will be taking possession of the car on Wednesday.
I will dig around in the engine bay then.

More than likely a fluid clutch drive... Might need a front trans seal from the sounds of it... Y'all just need a good shop Manuel for that car.... Shot us some pic's when it get there.... Will be glad to help out as much as we can.
I do have some books, So when we get to that point, I'll go dig one out of the cabinet.... :)
