Easiest 727/904 rebuild thread...

If you zoom in on the picture, he does have the retainer the right way. It is just the way it looks in the pic that it upside down.
But if you zoom in, it is correct.
Cut the guy some slack.
Last year I did the 727 in my power wagon which I got on a great deal because the transmission had lost reverse. He pulled the transmission out and got a supposedly good working long shaft transmission and he thought he could just change the shaft housing from behind. LOL he gave up on it and gave me both transmissions in the truck for an astronomically low price and all I had to do was replace the reverse band. When he showed me the piece that's missing in this picture I knew exactly what it was LOL...
This is the point of the thread just don't sell your vehicle because you broke a reverse band LOL of course I put new clutches and a shift kit and stuff in it cleaned it and rebuilt it a little bit new lip seals and gaskets. That's all I'm trying to teach here just for the hobby guys who can do it themselves or just need a little encouragement. I sincerely appreciate your input because I know it will be positive you just strike me that way again thank you...
Also this guy didn't see that I had to change that spring so I had to take it apart it was the only time that I had to take one of those apart because of this obvious picture besides that I would have just changed the seals...
Through personal messages and outright saying it here on this thread I've taken the advice of everyone and just put him on ignore for a while...
