transmission guys, need a little help

what determines the "type 1" and "type 2" ? are these in the kit or is it the type of transmission? i was under the impression that all 727s are the same internally. it will be simple for me to get the diameter of the spacer, but i need to know how tall it is

Type 1 was the type of servo used before 67. Type 2 is a 67 and up servo.

Thank you Tracy. yes , i still have the PDF's you sent me. i was having a hard time understanding exactly what they are showing, but i see that there is a spacer. is there anyway of finding out the exact size of it? i can make one very easily.

The spacer is 1/2" i.d. by 3/4" o.d. by 1/4" thick.

do i need the 5/16 plug? and is the circled spacer the one we are talking about?

You just need the spacer. Not the plug

the rear band is already at 3 turns out. i guess im just going to put it back together and hope it doesnt blow up.

That's pretty loose. The issue is you probably need the spacer. It's possible someone drilled out the valve body spacer plate to make the 1-2 shift firmer without doing the spacer mod.

Sorry I couldn't be around the computer much today to help. Was finishing up a 727 rebuild for a buddy. PM me and I'll send you my ph. # so you can call any time.
