727 Torqueflite Transmission

[nitronut]

I have a quick question....does anyone know how many total quarts a 727 Torquflite holds and what's the best type to use?

Around 12 qts. of DexronII if you can find it.

Thanks!

Dont just put 12 qts in it.....put about 8 qts...start it up in neutral....and add fluid to get to the full mark....

always depends on size of converter...pan...cooler lines...

What about Dextron 3

Well, you can read thru this and see what you think? I would say I guess it's OK.

Ok well what do you use now a days in a 727 that will keep it alive?

A few years back the drag racers were using a John Deere Fluid. Google I guess.

I use Dynamic synthetic for my 727, sold by Dynamic transmissions... Right now it's 100 bucks a case a 12

Dex3 is okay to use too

Type F from Wally World! It works and it is cheap! I buy it in gallon jugs when it is available.

70aarcuda's favorite place to get Trans fluid!

We use Pennzoil Hydra Static Tractor fluid for the race transmissions, the best stuff we have ever found and hell, its even cheaper LOL. I know of only one person personally that uses it for a daily driver/street use but thats just not enuff to base an opinion on for street useage.
