Jeff's 727 rebuild thread

I'm about ready to give up...
Woah Jeff. These things happen. Dont let it get you down. Take a break from the car, have a couple of beers & get back on it with new found energy. Tracy has a valid point with regards to govenor pressure, although unless there is a malfunction in the govenor pressure circuit allowing it to override throttle pressure at standstill, I am doubtful. But yeah give it a try by all means. If all checks out, drop the pan & you should be able to see the reason for the loss of reverse. I noticed in the photo in post #270 that you still have the stock rear servo spring retainer in there. I will toss this in the trash if I install a TF-2 a fit a billet aluminium retainer. I've had a few issues where the stock retainer pops out from under the snap ring which will result in a loss of reverse. I am confident that these issues are only a minor set back & you will be back on the road smiling very soon.
