Had two front pumps in storage...each one had a different problem....but enough parts to make one good one....new parts added....got it reconnected to the motor....and dropped it back in the car ....Should have everything hooked up tomorrow....we mated converter and pump on the bench...and all went together really easy and once the pump was in the trans...again the pump dropped in easy.......we will see....

We aint done yet....motor/trans will be out tomorrow...lol....I am not going to let this thing whip me....
 
We seem to get stuck in that rut from time to time.... you’ll whip it!
 
Getting ready to pull the motor/trans.....converter seems to be installed correctly....move converter back n forth...can hear the pump lugs clack...

trans is all back together on the floor...called the tranny guy....

I noticed his adjustment of the bands were tighter then mind.......so I went with his....

probably start putting it back in the car tomorrow...going home to watch some football....go jets..
 
He does not like or use the Teflon sealing rings....and said more then likely that is why i had no forward gears...
 
Motor and Trans back in car......will start hooking it up tomorrow....

Got another 904 torn apart with problems...and I see those teflon seals again.....
 
^^^^payback for laughing at my Ford heads LOL but honestly if you have problems now I will have my own twinges of guilt...

Teflon seals on the stator of my 727 and 904. Only prob I’ve ever had is when the trans brake would creep a little.... then I knew it was time for new ones.
 
If you don’t use Teflon rings then what should be used? I’m looking to rebuild a 727 and looking at rebuild kits from Cope Racing Trans, all I see in his kits offered are the Teflon seals..?
