Easiest 727/904 rebuild thread...

Do we really need another TF trans video? Especially when you don't even know what the forward drum and direct drum are called? You called the direct drum; the forward drum. And just prying on the internals can break parts. And with no oil around the outside of the pump? Feel free to proceed and I'll just straighten out the mess along the way.
Well after some thought maybe a different reply is needed here... I never claim to be any kind of guru and knowing I'm doing everything right or naming every part as it is. And I'm not going to do a video as you said. What I'm trying to point out is any dumbo like myself can rebuild one of these transmissions and have great success.. as I have in the past even doing them for the first time..
It's people like you that put all these scary thoughts and people's heads that direct them to somebody that will charge them through the nose for such a simple task... They go do all the hard work of getting it out and get it down to the transmission guy who puts $100 rebuild kit in it if that and gives it back to them for $900 which took them probably two and a half three hours to do at the most and then they spend the next 4 days trying to get it back into the car...
I'm saying without knowing the name of every doohickey in there it's pretty much take it apart and put it back together the same way you took it apart.... I'm not sure which parts you suggesting I was prying on and I got the transmission completely dry sitting outside for 50 years. It was garbage and now I've started on another one. The strat isn't for the ultimate drag racer with the ultimate goals in mind. This is just for a guy who wants to rebuild his tranny and freshen it up a little bit and I am just a first-timer second timer untrained and completely unskilled so take it for what it is... I highly suggest if someone wants their transmission to hold back 3 million horsepower to take it to somebody else but if you're just looking for a refresh of your factory internals without all the technical blue blah and some homemade tools and you only want to spend a hundred bucks or less doing it and have it work great and stay tuned...
