727 trans rear band and drum shot

Plato2k5 said

My tf727 manual says back rear band off 2 turns. Turbo action mvb instructions say 3..... What should front and rear bands be adjusted to?

I guess I will have to use more brakes and less trans for braking at lights and down hills........

Mad dart......that doesn't list 727 for use......

Can I also turn the drum on a lath to smooth it out? I can't find a spec that lists tolerances

Since your planning on running the Turbo Action valve body adjust the bands to the setting it says to use. It should come with instructions telling you that. Also make sure you use the recommended front band lever. Some manual valve body's call for a 5.0, others may call for a 3.8 ratio. I recently talked to a guy with a rear drum that was grooved up and he said he turned it down on a brake lathe but if you have a regular lathe available it might be easier to use. If the grooves are real deep it's probably best to replace it but if their not too bad I'd look into having it turned down.
