727 guts question

440 cars had the spring on top of the piston, others had the spring on the bottom.

The procedure described earlier about measuring the spring and using a piece of pipe the same length as the spring instead of the spring is actually in the 1974 Factory Shop manual I have for A-bodys. The result is a nice, firm 1-2 shift.

You can also adjust the line pressure up a bit, its easy to do and will make your shifts a little more firm.
