727 Build for Mid-10s

I didn't say to toss them in the trash. Where did you get such an idea? Do you want to build it right or not? You're just wasting money on unnecessary parts and to end up with a trans about 25% weaker than what's available to you for very little money.

For my build, 5 clutches will work just fine. Did I mention that's what was recommended to me by CRT? I think John knows a little about these transmissions.

Even if I bought 6 new thin frictions, the clearance would still be too tight and require adjusting, so the $20 I'm 'wasting' on a thinner pressure plate would still be required.
