Easiest 727/904 rebuild thread...

I do agree with the basis of this post. I spent years going to someone for trans builds and then got bold enough one day to tear into one with my friend who knew what he was doing. He always told me these are not hard to do. Now we are doing them all the time with more to come. A big thing is knowing what upgrades to make and where to spend your money when you decide to upgrade. I have watched many 727s go down the racetrack for a long time with nothing more than a Cheetah RMVB, bolt in 12 element sprag, good 2nd gear solid band, rear roller support, and accumulator blocker. No billet drum, no low band apply valve body, no 6 bolt 16 element sprag, no upgraded planeteries, nothing rollerized. There are still guys out there doing it successfully with a low budget 727. I always laugh when guys will talk crap about the 727 like it can't tolerate abuse.
