I think my 727 is fried. Now I'm at a crossroads...
I always run a spring, but I stick a 1/2-5/8" long piece of 1/2" ID iron water pipe inside the spring. I like the .061 Red eagles so I can install an extra one in the direct pack; oems for the forward clutch. I've been putting five in every direct pack anymore. Five thins fit into the four plate drum with the stock top plate, but I use the lower forward ridged plate on top in the three plate drum to install five.
