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

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...

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

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...

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...

Noted, thanks.

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...

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...

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...

Do the rpms drop fast too or just speed? Didn't do any brake work inbetween engines did you?

Pulled apart my 8 3/4 the other day and I noticed that there were 2 of the steel gaskets that go between the housing and the backing plates. Isn't there only supposed to be one? Also, where can I get the foam axle gaskets?

thanks!

I've been told when swapping gears its a good idea to replace the pinion bearing since it has to be pressed off. I'm just a little confused if I only need to replace the inner or outer or both? I believe I have a 10 spline pinion shaft as the pinion nut was 1 1/8" as mentioned in another...

Is there any difference between big block and small block 727 converters?

wow $50? I called some shops around my neighborhood and they want $250 at the minimum

i've got a used lokar cable and bracket that i'd sell. I had it on a 360 magnum with a air gap intake so its probably got some extra length that what you need so you should be able to cut it down a little.

I bought a 727 transmission from a guy and it came with an unknown converter. I'm trying to find out who makes its and possible a stall speed. The transmission is supposedly built with a shift kit (somebody drew a skull and crossbones on it so it must be lol). It looks pretty identical to the...
