Neither A&A or Andrews Racing Transmissions are going out of business.
We are just no longer offering A&A Transmission parts after 25 years of doing so. Simply a business decision.

The cost to build the 46RH/RE for more horsepower is significantly more. The upgrades are basically the same as the 727.
The disadvantage of the a500 style trans is the lack of upgradeable parts (lockup input shaft namely). So similar to the 904, 500hp would be pushing it for the a500 in my...
Cope's RE manual shift valve body has 1-4 on the manual valve. There is no solenoid needed for the 3-4 shift as that is done manually on the shifter. The only solenoid that is needed with the CRT valve body is for lockup.
Technically, yes it does matter as the manufacturer states that ATF+4 is not backwards compatible. So, you can start off with Dex III and switch to ATF+4, but not the other way around.
As mentioned, ATF+4 is a semi-synthetic fluid with anti shudder additives for lockup torque converters. It is...
Shutting the car off at speed isn't necessarily great, either. Do you have needle bearings throughout?
With the engine shut off the geartrain is starved for lube oil.
There are clean neutral valve bodies available for people who need neutral after the run as to not decelerate down on aluminum rods.
Neutralizing an automatic transmission at speed with a stock drum is no bueno as you can explode it out of the transmission.
I think it was after '81 on a 998 with the low gear set, but I'm not 100% certain.
Yeah it'd be one of those deals to pull the pump and drums out of it to find out. I have several factory publications/technical service bulletins I can look for more info and maybe come up with something..
I've been talking with miszny on some parts to achieve some better longevity with his 727, and we'll get there at some point if some parts would show up.
I've learned quite bit over 25 years on what you can get away with and what you cannot in certain 727 combinations. 727 hard parts are fairly...
This car was mistreated in 1st gear causing the sprag to roll. It appears the case is also broken, and if not, it will likely need another case anyway as once that inner sprag race is removed you'll probably find it dug into the back of the case as well. Not to mention what you have going on...
