Going rate 727 rebuild.

Now remember this fellow people who have rebuilt transmission before and can do it in our sleep…
Not every one has the tools or skills to take on this project. I personally have rebuilt transmissions for a brain surgeon.
A freakin brain surgeon could not figure it out. Some people blue collar or white collar does not matter, do not have the ability to perform this or many things we take for granted. Just like we cannot do or do easy what they can do. It is just life. I for the life of me cannot program in computer language. I cannot speak multiple languages. I still put my pants on one leg at a time. You get my point. Lol!
I've already debunked that you need special tools or any special skills... Maybe watch a couple you-boob videos... And I've done it on a 2 ft by 4 ft piece of 3/4 inch plywood held up by two chairs... Unless you're doing something very exotic it's mostly just taking it apart and replacing it with the new parts that you took out the same way you took it out... Follow the instructions on the shift kit...
If you don't have time to do it that's somewhat understandable but you're saying you don't take 3 hours a weekend to drive your car to a car show... Should take less than 3 hours to take it apart and 3 hours to clean everything up and 3 hours to put everything back.., A pro should easily have all that done in 3 hours start to finish..
But then again there's people who don't have the time or don't even want to try it and the price is two Grand, drop it off and have it done... Or find a cheaper hobby...
