Tf 727 modify or not
Barracuda 318 2 barrel/727. Recently had been rebuilding the 727 with a basic street kit/shift kit.
My transmission has 9 engagement springs for the clutches. Also has 4frictions and 3 rear.
So I’ve been reading about adding more springs to eliminate the 2-3 overlap. Btw I’ve never driven this trans, and it isn’t known to have this problem, it’s just something I’ve read.
So question..should I leave well enough alone put the 9 springs back in along with 4 friction clutches?
And/ or add the Dorman 555-115 freeze plug and drill it. I have read people drilled anywhere from .90” to .150” ?
My shift kit didn’t come with said restrictor. It was just heavy duty springs added. Drilled holes in valve plate and one through body. And the few servo rings.
Anyway is it a worthwhile mod or just leave well enough alone?
