Rebuilding my 727 and first off, trans condition was unknown other than slips bad when warm. Checked end play before teardown, bad, 0.088".
Fried rear clutches, no other metal. Figuring a straight up rebuild.
Get to air checking, and it hisses quite badly. Both on front and rear clutches. Tried adding ATF to holes, still leaks bad.
Remove and bench test just the stator on the front drum, still hisses. Clutch basket does move, using 35psi of air, but leaks and hisses badly. Drum is not excessively worn, just two shiny spots where the rings were. Tried with original sealing rings, and with the new rings from the kit. Still hisses. Using plenty of assembly goo...
Any ideas? I assume if I re-install it will leak and let the clutches slip and burn up again quickly...
THanks
