torqueflite 727 problem, need help....please. Long, sorry.

Absolutely wrong!!! Adjusting the cable/linkage so that the transmission lever is full back at WOT most often results in late part throttle upshifts or no WOT upshifts. When properly adjusted the lever will be NEAR full back but there will be some travel left. The "optimal" setting is one that suits the individual driver. As long as the transmission will kickdown at WOT at a road speed of 40 mph or so, the adjustment is sufficient to prevent any low pressure associated damage. |

Charlie Nudo, aka "duty-honor-country," is the troll who trailed me in here. And, FYI, I've rebuild two 727s myself. How many has Nudo even touched? Zero. The rear clutch check ball thing came to mind, because I had the same problem with a Road Runner I got on the cheap with a "blown" trans. What happened was that the check ball was just plain missing, and the rear band was fried. Everything else, including all hard parts, were in great shape, so it was an easy job. I used an ATP master kit on that one, and was later told I'd screwed up by using their stuff, although I sold the car and never got a comeback on the trans. One shop owner told me that ATP seals weren't up to par, but yet others say their stuff's perfectly reliable. I used some seal repair items on a Ford C6 that held up for over 100K miles, so.... Any opinions on that? |

Please reference ANY Mopar shop manual that specifies the lever must be full back at WOT, include year, page, paragraph. What you will actually find is that EVERY FSM specifies the adjustment be made with the carb/throttle body at warm curb idle and with the transmission lever full FORWARD. When correctly adjusted at idle the position of the transmission lever at WOT will automatically be correct due to the design of the factory linkage/cable system. |

I can shinny underneath and recheck it, but that's how it worked out last time I set it. |

Since you have a custom install I would look for a different throdle lever
(the one on the trans) I have seen them in different lengths depending on application. Another thought Has it been converted to carb? You need the correct mopar adapter lever for the carb. Front band & rear bands seldom wear out on 727 So that wouldn't be a problem unless overtightened. The quickest way to distroy a TF is to leave the throdle pressure linnkage disconnected I had the MP deep pan on mine with street shift kit |

Now DeserTBob is telling me that TH350's only came on Chevys
> John,
> > This "desertbob" character is a poser who is posting from auto repair > manuals- he doesn't have any hands on experience fixing cars. > > Duly noted, but even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut. John, Check this out- DeserTroll is now trying to say a TH350 only came on a Chevy- this goes far to show his total LACK of automotive knowledge- as it was a common transmission on Buick, Olds, Pontiac as well, from the 1960's all the way into the 1980's Here's his latest post: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.c...de7085682b61bf And here's the obvious info that totally DISPROVES what he's saying. I must have seen 100's of TH350's in Buick-Olds-Pontiac cars. I parted out many myself, and my Firebird still has the original TH350 it came with in 1970. http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/th350.htm Engine Compatibility and Adaptability GM The front face TH350 is natively compatible with either the Chevrolet 90 degree "Small Block" & "Big Block" patterned engines, including the V6, V8, I6 & Iron Duke I4. Another version, the Buick / Oldsmobile / Pontiac (BOP) TH350 will be compatible with the Buick 90 degree V6 & V8 engines, and the Olds & Pontiac 90 degree V8. This "BOP" version features a "valley" at the twelve o'clock position of the block flange where the peak would be on the Chevy (pictured) version. THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING DESERTBOB TELLS YOU- he's a poser. |

listen to this bull**** story- GM made TH350 for Chevy, Buick, Olds, and Pontiac

WRONG- I still have the owner's manual for my car, it says right in it, TH350 The TH375 was a TH350 with a LONG TAILSHAFT, used in full sized luxury cars- you DUMB ASS. Explain this: http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/co...gmth350id.html Bolt Pattern The Turbo 350 case commonly comes with three different bolt patterns. Some cases have a Chevy engine bolt pattern, some cases have the Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and Caddy bolt pattern, and some have both. It is well worth getting the dual pattern, or unicase, Turbo 350. If you ever think you might do an engine swap, you won't have to worry about the transmission. It will also help the resale of the transmission because it will work with more engine combinations. The Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and Caddy engine bolt pattern is easily identified by the valley at the top and the Chevy pattern is peaked on the top. The dual pattern transmission in the picture on the right has both patterns. You can see the valley and peak. Each set of bolts around the top is in a pair. The alignment pin and the lower bolt is the same. IT'S DAMN OBVIOUS- DESERTBOB NEVER OWNED A GM V-8 POWERED CAR- HE KNOWS **** ABOUT THE MOST COMMON TRANSMISSION GM EVER MADE ALL THROUGH THE 1970'S ! |
