727 stuck in third

It's definitely in another gear besides low. It's not hanging up like the clutches being welded together.

Funny thing is, I had an A518 in a 1993 Ram doing the same thing, so this must be an issue that is peculiar to TF's.

Doesn't look like the pan's been off in years.

It happens but not too often from what I've seen.

Unfortunately a lot of people neglect their trans.
