727 band questions, somethings weird, help

Did you put the little strut piece in blue from the lever to the band and have the band secured correctly in the fixed case support lever?

THen get an inch lb torque wrench and tighten to specs.. I think 72 inch lbs and then adust per year etc. Sounds not right to me from what you descibe?

Are you using a flex or solid rear band? Also make sure you soak in fluid at least a hr too ok :)
