A727 Rebuild kits redux - Rebuild kits everywhere (62-70 vs 71+)

I was in a hurry this am when I posted and forgot to mention checking the pump and gears very closely. Sometimes you get lucky and everything is ok. Sometimes just a set of gears will suffice. Sometimes the pump is scored and grooved so you have to replace it all.

BTW: since you said you have Munroe's book you'll read a lot of what was mentioned here. The only thing I found issue with is he recommends pretty tight clutch pack clearances. For a race only trans it's ok but I've found if you set the rear clutch pack to .035" clearance like he recommends it may want to creep in neutral for a couple thousand miles before the plates wear enough they don't do it anymore. IMO why set it so tight so the plates have to wear down before it works right?? Yrs. ago when I first bought his book I did 2 transmissions back to back with those tight clearances and both creeped in neutral. I also go a little looser on the front clutch pack. 727's are bad on 2-3 shift overlap and the looser clearance helps a little. Other than that all his information is spot on.
