First off, I'd like to say I've never rebuilt an automatic tranny before. I call them Voodoo Juiceboxes and usually swap in a stick shift.
However, I've been told the 727s are one of the easier trannys to rebuild, so I'm thinking about giving this a whirl, with a bit of a twist.
I have a known good heavy duty truck 727 with the fixed rear yoke that I want to swap the guts into a '66 passenger car 727 with a slip yoke, and add a shift kit while I'm at it.
I've heard the big truck/motorhome trannys have better beefy guts than a standard 727.
I've installed shift kits before so I'm confident doing that, I was just wondering what the more experienced members think.
Can I do this? I'm clean and detail oriented, but I'm thinking I'll need special tools.
Any useful bits of information?
Thanks guys!
