    Torque converter shield interference

    Thanx so much for your time. Looks like based on your pics that both of the ones I have are for 727's. Just another unexplainable issue with this car I-guess. I'll just hope that the problem doesn't reappear, and if-so I'll see you all again maybe. Thanks again to all for your time

    Torque converter shield interference

    Thanks guys...there's some 904 shields on ebay now and they look the same to me. Thomas, I was wondering too about the crank moving. This is a brand new rebuild so I can't imagine how, but ya never know, and something like that going-on is a worry that I have. It's probaby just the next in...

    Torque converter shield interference

    '70 Duster 340 / 727. Initial startup in 2014 TC bolt (s) hitting shield between engine/trans. Tweaked it with screwdriver, problem solved. Had an engine failure since then. Installed repaired engine. No interference on initial startup, but the next time i ran it I got the same problem...

    Where is all common leak sources possible on a 65 904?

    For 28 years, the tranny in my old van has almost always leaked for various reasons. This week after doing the gasket job twice, with the 2464324AC gasket that never leaks, it still leaked. Turns out it was the same problem. Fluid is leaking from the switch itself, not from where the switch...

    Problem "solved". Nearly a full year after having this problem I finally had time to get into it again. Without doing any further investigation I got a new valve body from Cope Racing Transmissions. 1-2-3 shifts on first test drive followed by a "yesssss" that was probably heard by all the...

    Cope Racing Transmission

    CRT helped me out nicely with some troublesome hard parts for my last 727 rebuild. I'll be hitting him up for a valve body soon.

    Rebuild transmission troubles

    Mine took a little while to get-going and sucked-up a lot of fluid initially. Keep checking the fluid and add as-needed. I'm not a "tranny guy" but I recently put mine back together and i was concerned at first. I like to jack the rear wheels off the ground too in-case linkage is off or...

    Ah man i just had a long story almost complete and I lost the page. Bullet points... Trans MIGHT have had a PTKD in it when I got it but it has non-PTKD now. I might have changed it thinking that the PTKD was the wrong one for the trans. Trans date code is 9/69 (2961) yet the part number is...

    Still no change. Went-through the governor yesterday. Didn't see anything obvious with it but I cleaned it good and there's still no 2-3 shift. I think I might just drop the tranny and start over on this thing. My only other concern is that this was an Ebay VB. I don't remember why I had to...

    Fred...No, I'm not familiar with that procedure but I'll look into it next time. Thank You. Fishy the balls are correct I noticed the difference. FWIW this is a "non part throttle VB" but is not original to the tranny. I don't remember why I had to replace it. I misunderstood about the...

    Gaz, Yes and no on the AP test today (long story). I did do a test earlier in the assembly. I was confident about the results of one of the (clutch packs?) but skeptical about the other. Another long story. Our local trans guru looked at it and he said it was fine so I moved forward, but as I...

    1970 Duster fresh restoration so no history available. I rebuilt the trans. I've done 2 or 3 before and never had a problem. New Hughes converter. Low is fine, Reverse is fine, 1-2 shift is nice, but no shift into 3rd. Linkage is adjusted correctly. I went through the valve body completely...

    Throttle Pressure Link Problem

    Thanks for the replies, guys. It's an H-code car so I dunno WTH. As I mentioned ALL of the top end was gone when I got it so I don't know what may have been done in the past, although I haven't found anything on this car yet that wasn't 100% original. If anyone can look at their car and give...

    Throttle Pressure Link Problem

    Hey guys I've looked thru many posts on this stuff but still stuck on something. Anyone know the correct length for the TP link? 1970 Duster 340. The car had no top end on it when I got it (never again) but I can see this link in one of the original pictures so it's the same one that came...

    727 driving me crazy with leaks!

    What "inertia" said is my guess. The tranny in my old van leaked for YEARS before I discovered that. I would almost bet on it being that

    727 clutch pack air pressure test. Fail ?

    When testing the rear clutches I get a nice "thud" like the Munroe manual says I should. There does seem to be some air escaping as well however. The front clutch pack is another story, with a waaaaaay wimpier feel to it. and a lot more air blowing-by. This is my 2nd 727 rebuild. The last one...
