727 (340) TRANSMISSION REBUILD QUESTIONS THREAD

IMO, any non-pro should have Carl Monroe or Tom Hand's books on 727 (Torqueflite) trans rebuild and upgrade guides. So many questions are answered and an unbelievable amount of understanding will be at your fingertips.
Without looking it up, I do believe the answer to your questions is no and no.
Forgot to mention, I am following Tom Hand's book.
