A727 Stator
Thought I would post some outcomes.
- gave up on the transmission shop (Shop A) that suggested the stator needed the check ball repair. Also tried to sell me a $ 1500 rebuild with converter. This with me doing the trans removal & reinstall
- got a complete used oil pump assembly from another transmission shop (Shop B). Same part numbers with a one check ball stator. All in good shape and half of what shop A wanted to fix or replace.
- new TC from trans supply shop. Some discussion there about small or big mounting pads. The TC that came out had the big pads and several catalogues specified the big pads.
- the metal fragments are still a mystery. Close up of fragments posted for interest sake. Both fragments are Flat on the bottom with a dome shape on top.
Still have to do band apply air tests to confirm that everything is good. I was advised that 1 and 2 check ball stators are not interchangeable so that should be the definitive answer on the stator.
