    Band Adjustments - Gauging How Much Life Left

    Interesting. Does that mean that with the newer bands, there is no need for periodic adjustment (assuming no issues arise)?

    Band Adjustments - Gauging How Much Life Left

    Regarding the kickdown and low/reverse band adjustments...can you gauge how much life/material is left in a band by the amount of threads left on the adjuster screws (after performing proper adjustments)? What's considered good / what's considered "worn"? I'm not really having any issues, but...

    727 Valve Body Disassembly Findings

    I agree with your statement, I could just not for the life of me figure out why that copper stuff was in there. I finished up the shift kit install, just need to put it back in the trans and cross my fingers I did just replace a tailshaft bushing that looked like it had some wear on it...

    I should also add that I haven't really experienced any issues with the transmission/valve body prior to taking it apart

    727 Valve Body Disassembly Findings

    Hey Everyone, I pulled apart the valve body from my 727 to install the TF2 Shift Kit and I came across a couple of concerns while cleaning it. Since I'm not too familiar with VB's I'm hoping some of you can give some advice. I'm also planning on having a trans shop put it through their parts...

    Replacing 727 Low/Reverse Band Pin O-Ring in Car

    Thanks - I ended up pulling the VB and pushing the pin out with my finger. It was pretty loose, it almost shot all of the way out but I stopped it before it went past the lever mechanism. Took this as as a sign it was time to adjust the bands. It really wasn't that bad of a job. Messy, but...

    Replacing 727 Low/Reverse Band Pin O-Ring in Car

    Thanks for the advice. I certainly considered cleaning the area around the pin and sealing with RTV but the previous owner had tried that and it either didn't work or stopped working at some point. @Dubob - Good idea on reinstalling the pan temporarily after loosening the rear servo band, I...

    Hey guys, Have a 727 with a leaky low/reverse band pin o-ring and have some questions on replacing it in car. I think I have the process understood from searching the site (Remove trans mount/tailshaft. remove pan, remove valve body, loosen low/reverse band, and push pin out far enough to...

    Charging issues with Toyota style Denso Alternator

    I suppose it’s because I always seem to get an uneasy feeling when I come to a stoplight and see everything dim slightly, turn signals start blinking slower, etc...that I think the car is going to die but maybe you’re right. I am running 4AWG cable from the alternator B+ stud to my inline fuse...

    Charging issues with Toyota style Denso Alternator

    Update: I received the new pulley and quickly realized I had a problem. The OD of the recessed area (where the flanged nut sits) on the new pulley is a little over 29mm. With the 22mm pulley nut that came with the alternator, all of my 22mm sockets were too large too fit inside the recessed...

    Charging issues with Toyota style Denso Alternator

    It's a V Belt setup, 15mm bore. After quite a bit of searching I was able to find a 2" OD pulley to give me a 2.625 ratio. Based on the report above, I should be in the 65-70 amp range which I think will be ok.

    Charging issues with Toyota style Denso Alternator

    It's a 2 speed fan out of a early 90's Volvo 940 I looked into the pulley sizes & ratios and believe this is definitely the issue Crank Pulley dia= 5.25" Alt pulley dia= 2.63" Ratio: 2:1 I looked again at the test report and they used a ratio of 3:1 (probably correct for a late 80's...

    Charging issues with Toyota style Denso Alternator

    I had some issues with my 60 amp denso alternator with being able to put out enough power when my electric fan was running, especially at idle. The fan was pretty loud and you could hear the rpms drop at stop, similar to the common issue of headlights dimming at idle. Idle @ ~900 RPM (mild cam)...

    Leak at Speedo Cable???

    When I disconnected the cable I did not let it hang down and drip because it never occurred to me that some of the oil would work its way up the cable. I did not install the seal myself. I purchased an assembled unit from Brewer's Performance, but the seal did look correctly installed. It is...

    Leak at Speedo Cable???

    I’ve noticed some fluid build up around the hex nut that secures the speedo cable to the speedo gear adaptor housing. Thinking the inner seal on the adaptor housing was the culprit I ended replaced both the inner seal and o-ring. Cleaned everything off, went for a drive and noticed fluid in...

    Tuff Wheel Adapter Horn Contact Ring

    I finally decided to investigate why the horn on my 72 demon wasn't working and I discovered that the connector tab on the horn contact ring for the switch's ground wire was broken off. Probably unrelated but the plastic insulator that is sandwiched between the copper ring and adapter looks...

    72 Demon wheel trim - adhesive backing?

    I went out to take some pictures but couldn't find the piece that I pulled off, but I did attach some pictures of the LR Wheel trim. On the RR side you can see there is some leftover adhesive tape I still need to remove. Looking at it it closely it reminds me of that cheap chrome door edge...

    72 Demon wheel trim - adhesive backing?

    Pulling into my garage the other day, I came in a "bit" too close to the garage door opening and scraped the rear RH 1/4 panel. Fortunately there was really no damage to the paint a little buffing can't fix, but I did manage to scrape off the Rear RH Wheel Well opening chrome trim. In looking...
