    Short Shaft Slip Yoke 727's in Old Airport Tugs?

    It also deletes the parking gear, so you are then relying on a parking brake system to hold the car.

    Having 2-3 shift overlap - Thinking of switching from 4.2 apply lever to 3.8 - Any Other Thoughts?

    No worries at all, my friend. Just keep your order with A&A.

    Having 2-3 shift overlap - Thinking of switching from 4.2 apply lever to 3.8 - Any Other Thoughts?

    I'm not allowed to advertise on this site, but we have some A&A servos left in stock and we are releasing our own line of servos also.

    Having 2-3 shift overlap - Thinking of switching from 4.2 apply lever to 3.8 - Any Other Thoughts?

    This is one of my favorite torqueflite topics. As we all know the 727 historically can get stuck in two gears at once on the 2-3 shift and cause a bind or overlap. We go to great lengths on our transmission builds to achieve a clean, quick and firm (not harsh) 2-3 shift. There are a lot of...

    Since when did fram market trans rebuild kits?

    Looks like some new old stock kits from the 80's. They do not look new. Do you think the lip seals are still soft?

    A and A Transmissions U R out of luck

    Neither A&A or Andrews Racing Transmissions are going out of business. We are just no longer offering A&A Transmission parts after 25 years of doing so. Simply a business decision. :)

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    The cost to build the 46RH/RE for more horsepower is significantly more. The upgrades are basically the same as the 727. The disadvantage of the a500 style trans is the lack of upgradeable parts (lockup input shaft namely). So similar to the 904, 500hp would be pushing it for the a500 in my...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    Yes the second digit is always the load rating from the manufacturer. The 42 is for a 6 cylinder jeep, the 44 came behind a 318.

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    Cope's RE manual shift valve body has 1-4 on the manual valve. There is no solenoid needed for the 3-4 shift as that is done manually on the shifter. The only solenoid that is needed with the CRT valve body is for lockup.

    Non ATF+4 in a A500 trans..?

    Technically, yes it does matter as the manufacturer states that ATF+4 is not backwards compatible. So, you can start off with Dex III and switch to ATF+4, but not the other way around. As mentioned, ATF+4 is a semi-synthetic fluid with anti shudder additives for lockup torque converters. It is...

    727 ID

    The 3 is likely an 8 and it would be 2892090, which is a B&C body, 383 2bbl, from 1969.

    1000hp 727 full manual build

    Shutting the car off at speed isn't necessarily great, either. Do you have needle bearings throughout? With the engine shut off the geartrain is starved for lube oil.

    1000hp 727 full manual build

    There are clean neutral valve bodies available for people who need neutral after the run as to not decelerate down on aluminum rods. Neutralizing an automatic transmission at speed with a stock drum is no bueno as you can explode it out of the transmission.

    NOT MINE: Looking for junkyard front disc brakes? Northern CA.....

    I think it was after '81 on a 998 with the low gear set, but I'm not 100% certain. Yeah it'd be one of those deals to pull the pump and drums out of it to find out. I have several factory publications/technical service bulletins I can look for more info and maybe come up with something..

    NOT MINE: Looking for junkyard front disc brakes? Northern CA.....

    A 998 would be behind a 318. Hard to say for certain if it has the low gear set.

    Yes, they do.

    1000hp 727 full manual build

    I've been talking with miszny on some parts to achieve some better longevity with his 727, and we'll get there at some point if some parts would show up. I've learned quite bit over 25 years on what you can get away with and what you cannot in certain 727 combinations. 727 hard parts are fairly...

    Broken Transmission

    This car was mistreated in 1st gear causing the sprag to roll. It appears the case is also broken, and if not, it will likely need another case anyway as once that inner sprag race is removed you'll probably find it dug into the back of the case as well. Not to mention what you have going on...

    Recommend me a 727 rebuild kit

    No need for kolene steels, in my opinion. I can certainly help you out with what you need.

    Digging for info - front drum explosion on 727s

    The high gear drum did not explode then. The broken extension housing and case were damaged due to the driveshaft coming out.

    Digging for info - front drum explosion on 727s

    Do you know which part failed, or exploded as you say? I absolutely would not shift a 727 with stock drums to almost 8k rpm.

    This is crazy. Elite Motorsports

    Pro Stock uses a 9.5" ring gear, and it ain't crazy if you are Richard Freeman.
