1963 Fleetwood Power Seat and tranny leak.

[Chris Fappiano]

Good morning all.  I am very new to Cadillac ownership and to the chapter, but excited about being part of such a good community. I just got my 63 Fleetwood and beginning to learn about her.  We're hoping for my wife and I to get her ready to drive to the 2021 Grand National.  Noticed a couple of issues right off.

1.  My tranny is leaking a bit. 
2. The power seat motor runs, but there is not movement in any direction (it was tilting, but that has now stopped)

Any insights from the group?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris, 

go to the help section up above, scroll down to seat transmission cleaning repair that should help you figure out what’s happening,old dried up grease is usually the culprit. For your trans leak grab a can of carb , brake cleaner and spray it down and wipe it down with a rag , take the car for a ride if u can or maybe let it ide for a bit , you might be able to see where it’s coming from, mine was leaking from the speedometer housing, it was an easy fix 2 o-rings hasn’t leaked since ..good luck hope the info helps

Was admiring your interior project pics, nice work.  Where did you get those beautiful seatbelts?  Chris

If your looking for seatbelts,you might have to reach out to Jason Edge .... all those pictures you see in the help section are his collections , my seatbelts came with my car , I think they were an option back in 63-64

Seat belts are one of the most in demand items I have on my Wait List. At least count I had about a dozen customers lookigng for original front seat belts and double that looking for rears. I am pulling them in hear are there, maybe 1 or 2 a year sometimes but when you are getting dozens of requests a year that means means demand has far outstripped supply. At least my supply. Since I give 1st preference to Chapter members, I can't recall anytime in the last 5 years a set went to a non-Chapter Member. That and the 10% discount I give are 2 good reasons to join the CLC (www.cadillaclasalleclub.org/join) and our Chapter.  For anyone that want to go on the Wait List give me a shout at [e-mail]
