Im in need of an OEM replacement trans filter for my 62' Chrysler 300. These cars didnt have a filter under the valve body, instead it had an inline filter attached to the transmission cooling line. I believe the filter had fittings on it that allowed it to be fastened to the lines themselves for ease of removal. I was able to find some old (out of production) part numbers but have not had any luck locating any old inventory....Here are the numbers: Fram transmission number was P1651PL, which crossed to Chrysler 2400124 and J3168060 and GM 715102 and 5579826. Anyone have or know of where one of these may be??? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. It doesnt have to be stock, If I cant find a NOS piece I will have to explore my options. I figured Id try and find an original one before cutting up the trans cooling lines. I also found this from WIX: http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/PartDetail.asp?Part=58964
I work at a Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge store. I'll check today if that # supersedes to something we have today. You may have to end up cutting those lines anyways.
Checked into it, no luck. I know MOPAR sells an inline filter kit, probably the equivelant of what the aftermarket has. I'd be wary of any NOS filter, that paper can dry out failry easily and I wouldn't want filter chunks blown through my cooler or transmission!
Buy a remote engine oil filter setup, some inverted flare to pipe thread adapters, and plumb it in. Pick one that uses the common FL1A/PH8A Ford type oil filter. Some forklifts and meduim duty trucks use these as remote mount transmission fluid filters. Mount it on a location that will be maintenance friendly.
