torque on 727 trans bolts

If your pan is straight, the trans case doesn't have any issues and you use a good quality gasket you don't need to slop it all up with sealer that's a royal PITA to clean off if you have to take it back apart again... I used the cork gaskets for 25 yrs. with very little leakage issues. The new style rubber and steel core gasket they use on the newer Rams and Dakotas is fantastic and all I use now. Since you have a 727 you'd need to use the one made for the A518. Cost less than $20 at Summit. I torque them to 150 inch lbs. in 50 lb increments
