Mechanic left the kick down off my torque flight...500 miles and a few yrs later (wasn't driving it much) the tranny was toast. You can get away with it for awhile...and in an emergency I'd do it, but I wouldn't do it very long and realize you're slowly hurting the tranny without it. My 2...

The proper length is the one you measure in your car once you have the new tranny in. Some folks have posted up to a 1/2" difference from the chart. Here's a link to a Mopars chart you might find useful...might have to copy and paste it in...

Used PTC...no complaints.

Pawned, Thanks for sharing how you built a drain plug for the tranny pan...that sounds really good. I recently refurbished my transmission and one of the things I learned was the importance of the springs to return the linkage to the correct position. A mechanic 20 yrs ago didn't know/forgot...

^^^x2 Also check emergency brake cable...clips missing and half-arse rig job can give you rhythmic thumping. Don't know about the "kinda rolls funny in 1st". I had a real well respected mopar mechanic 25 yrs ago look at my 8 3/4 rear end to find a "thumping" noise that was bothersome...

Run like your arse is on fire!

Good plan...wow, that's cheaper than I would have guessed.

I'm going to use my car to take the kids to Sonics, etc...As you mentioned you were going to use the car to get bagels on Sunday morning I think you're wise to keep it stock or real close to it. I recently put a Keith Long tranny in my 340 Duster which has 3.23 gears, 727, TQ, stock manifolds...

Not an expert here, but I think you'll be happy with a 1800-2500 range converter. I think any higher and you'll be revving it up just to get moving. Haven't heard good words on TCI hardware or customer service...Check out www.727specialis.com for a recommendation...lots of mopar...

A mechanic friend who restored a Ford Mach1 Mustang told me he got a roll of insulating material from the auto store to put on lines near heat. I couldn't find any locally so I didn't use it. Apparently it's like fire fighters heat repellant material in a roll that you cut to length then...

Ian, just did this project on my 71 Duster w/727. Like you mentioned, $$ was getting skinny so I went with steel tubing. 5/16 at Napa, bought 2 5ft lengths which is sufficient to run to the radiator. Post above explaining all the different types of fittings, etc is awesome...I learned the...

Bet your cable stays well lubed!

Keith at 727specialist.com can hook you up...if it's been a long time since the tranny was overhauled you might want to consider it...could just be a seal leaking...fix that and you're good for awhile...depends on your pocketbook too. For my $$ I went with a mopar tranny expert who does nothing...

I sent Keith Long (727 Specialists) my 727 out of my 340 Duster. He always answered my calls and the shipping company he uses is awesome. It arrived back to me in the timeframe he told me it would and it was packaged up very well. I installed it, but haven't run it yet...plan to later this...

I looked on the front balancer and there are no words on it. There appears to be a thin small weight on the old convertor and the new one in about the same location…the new one appears to have a little more weight than what I took off. The holes are the same pattern and the bolt size is...

Thanks guys for the advice. What tranny temperature range do you see when street driving?

I'll be home on a couple days and will check the flywheel and converter. The reason I want to bypass the internal radiator is the lines can fail and allow water into the tranny...this happened to me in 1986. A couple folks have told me not to worry about bypassing the radiator...lets know if...

Not sure if crank is steel or cast-there's no raised letters on the balancer in the front...thought I read something about cast having letters. Keith Long rebuilt this tranny and recommended a 2500 stall converter which is ready to go in. I have a one up from stock purple shaft cam, 3.23 rear...

I plan to put my rebuilt 727 back in my 71 340 Duster soon. Have never done this before and am open to any lessons learned you folks might have. It's up on jacks and I plan to borrow my neighbors tranny jack. Have a friend coming over who put a tranny in his Motörhome. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear about the bad luck with TCI. I'm waiting for my 727 to come back from Keith Long at 727 Specialists (can google and he has cool pictures of Mopars). I know it's not expensive to put a kit in them as I had mine done for $150 years ago by a friend and it worked fine. Tranny hasn't...
