Jeff's 727 rebuild thread

Wow! Bit of a bummer there Jeff. If you could adjust the band with no issues after assembly, I would say you did nothing wrong. It's not one of the things that you can do a bit wrong. Either you cocked it right up, in which case you wouldn't have been able to set up the band adjustment anywhere near right, or you set it up ok with the correct free play & an inferior quality band let go, which is my suspicion. The low reverse bands in these transmissions are very robust but at the same time the least used. Only manual low & reverse. Pain is having to strip the transmission completely again to change the band. But it all adds to experience. Keep up like this & you'll be able to do them in your sleep.
