Can a newbie restore a 727 or 904 transmission ?

You can do it. I did my first one about 3 years ago. Follow @Righty Tighty and go slow...I probably triple or quadruple checked everything. Keep the area clean...I changed paper often, lol. In addition to the books, I used the old school video, stopping and reversing as needed. Runs great behind a warmed over 5.9 Magnum.
