Initial Torqueflite tear down findings
I'm new at this transmission rebuilding, but I finally have time to go through some 727's that I've had laying around for years. The history on this one is a B&M Transkit installed by a local "guru" more years ago than I can remember.
Fluid was burned when drained.
End play before disassembly was at .045
Front clutch clearance was a whopping .175 with burned/warped frictions and steels. (there were 5 frictions, I think part of the transkit)
Notice that the clutch springs were laid over, not good:
This is weird - the springs in the old Transkit are much taller than some new replacements that I have:
On to the rear clutch. Clearance measured at .048
More to come.
