Easiest 727/904 rebuild thread...
On the last picture you can see little jar of Vaseline there. I just smear that everywhere on all the seals and all the places where everything's going to go together and some of the spacers and washers and stuff I put on there to keep them stuck in place. I have a picture of taking one of the parts and putting it over top of the front main seal on the pump and using it with another piece of metal to tap on the seal. Also pre-meshing the clutches outside the transmission so when you put them in they just go in much easier. Also I held all the guts of everything in there with the front band just like when I put the pump in with the band tie I tighten the band just by hand to hold everything in while I put the pump in. I used a long Phillips screwdriver ran it through one of the bolt holes and used it as a guide to slide the pump on so that bolt holes lined up with the gasket.
I didn't do a official reading of the end play but it was a bit sloppy but that's how it was when I took it apart. It's known for these to have quite a bit of end play. I think officially it's somewhere between 50 and 100 thousands...
Since everything was clean it just kind of click click click back together. When I cleaned up there was no extra parts laying around LOL I just put it on a piece of cardboard on a little roller and rolled it back into the corner. After I pulled the engine up off the floor and put it on an engine stand and tear it apart and get it back together and I get ready to make these two together I'll go ahead and get the valve body cleaned out and a shift kit put in it...
Oh yeah I definitely went and got those gaskets and seals that was $17 and change...
Nice having a clean bench again...
Well as clean as it gets....
