Jeff's 727 rebuild thread

Yes I do. At least it wouldn't have deformed itself & bent past the snap ring. Dont forget, the return spring you fitted from the TF-2 is considerably stronger than the stock item which didn't help the matter. What I also like to do is put a 008" steel shim between the spring & the aluminium retainer to prevent the spring wearing into it.
OK.....billet.

Onward and upward.....I'll be getting into the valve body this week as time allows.....detailed pictures will be coming.
The general consensus is I got something wrong in the 1-2 shift valve or it's just plain stuck for some reason.....
