    727 Trans fluid level???

    I can't use the fill volume as noted in the manual due to a smaller converter and deeper pan. Somewhere there was an observation that the top level of the fluid should be "X" inches below the drums to avoid foaming, but I can't remember just where that was... Thanks!

    727 Trans fluid level???

    Thanks for all the replies. I didn't say I had no dipstick. I said assume I had no dipstick. I have a dipstick. Yes it would be a PITA to run without a dipstick. The question is proper level relative to the transmission. Chrysler knew what that the operating level should be long before they...

    727 Trans fluid level???

    Does anyone know where, relative to the transmission, does the fluid level have to be at hot idle? Assume there's no dipstick. Where would the fluid level be? Thanks all!!

    727 Tailshaft bushing

    Thanks Trail!!! I think you're right. Bushing area is quite large and the seam will be compressed more when installed. I'll go with what I've got!! Thanks!

    727 Tailshaft bushing

    Hi Folks! Just bought a seal and bushing kit from a local parts store. I see the bushing has a longitudinal seam due to the roll forming process. Is this OK for a performance 727? Is there a manufacturer that offers this bushing seamless? The seam would be on the bottom of the...

    727 yoke engagement

    Yep, Kim, you are right. An old 727 guy said the same. I need a longer shaft by 1-1/2 inches. And a new bushing and seal.

    727 yoke engagement

    The splines start right at the front end of the yolk. So there is 3 inches of engagement into the tail shaft. Is that 3 inches far enough into the tail shaft to fully engage the bushing? How far in from the end of the transmission does the bushing start? Thanks everyone!!!

    727 yoke engagement

    Thanks Kim!! I have some numbers: Yoke cylinder is 5.5 in. long, with 3.0 inches into the trans, 2.5 in. gap left between the rear end of the yoke cylinder and the trans seal. Is 3 inches into the transmission enough engagement into the bushing? Thanks all!!!

    727 yoke engagement

    I know what the protrusion should be. I need to know in inches what the minimum engagement internally should be.

    727 yoke engagement

    Does anyone know what the minimum spline engagement is in inches for a 727 transmission yolk? I moved the rear back an inch and am wondering what this does to the length inside the trans. Will an inch shorter hurt? Thanks!!

    Which torsion bars are these?

    Thanks everyone! What was confusing me was the 162891L and 162890R numbers on the other end on the bars. The 890 led me to believe that it was related to the diameters. Originally, it was a slant six car. Updated sometime to a 73 V8 K-Frame full clip. Now with a Pete Hancock built 340 and 727.

    Which torsion bars are these?

    I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Recently got a 340 powered 1972 Dart with torsion bars identified on the ends a follows: USC 891L and USC 890R. The L was in the left and the R was in the right. Both measure .860 diameter. I'm thinking: These are not stock Mopar...
