Lost reverse, need help finding it. 727

There is no way a properly rebuilt trans would do that.

What would have been done wrong to do this?

 

[Mopower71]

What do you mean by "disintegrated"? tiny pieces or large areas coming off in one piece? I always make sure that all the fibers in the front pack match.

I added some pictures

Moisture or anti-freeze will cause the glue to let go and the friction material fall right off the steel discs. Vehicles that sat for a decade or radiators that cracked can cause that.

Thanks.
Maybe sat to long, 14 years since at track 11 years since on the road.
No antifreeze in it.
Moisture? Car has always sat inside, but has been dormant a lot of the last few years.
Now I have the time and a little money to get her going again. Fuel prices are headed up. Ugh.

What is the thickness of the pressure-plate, the last steel to get installed before the big snapring gets installed? I fear it was not adequate to keep the clutch stack flat.

Did it have type F fluid in it? Kim

Yes

 

[Mopower71]

There in lies your problem. Type F deteriorates seals. Then the clutches get burned/ fall apart. Ford was having a big problem with tranny failures in the early 70s. The switched to type A/dexron. No more problem. Kim

But, but , but, the recommendation was to run type f.
