727 Time to rebuild
Trying to get back on task here. I since abandoned the transmission I was working on rebuilding, it seemed like every part was within its last service life, the pump, drums, etc. I have finally taken my other transmission out of my car, tore it down and determined it’s in much better shape. I got the front clutch together today, it spec out at .099” with a wavy ring and 4 clutches/steels. I may have went a little to far installing the bushing. Hope I can get away with it as is. I also didn’t like how the piston went in, I hope the seal didn’t get twisted up. I’ll check with air, once the pump is together. I’ll be using a 3.8 kick down lever so I went with the 12 springs. That seems to be a general consensus.
