Just an update that I have take the dust collar off and so far I made it to 100# before I ran out of time. No rubbing or binding. Will try and go to 150# tonight. That's all my torque wrench will go to.

Forgot to add even when I put the original yoke on it and torque it to only 50 # it won't turn easily. 100# and it won't turn at all. I will try to remove the dust shield

The rear chunk/ pumpkin is a 741 case and I took the yoke off of another 741 case. Both pumpkins are setup from the factory both had between 50-65 thousand miles on them. The pumpkin. I am having issues with has the right set of gears(3.23) in it. My spare pumpkin is highway gears. I am...

Pinion nut was tight prior to removal. Used an impact to remove it. Yes, it tightens now till the dust shield touches.

Held the yoke because the pumpkin is still in the rear end.. The bearing didn't come out.

New bearings can you explain why old Kimmer. Trying to learn. Never fooled with rear chunk/pumpkin

Yep, I will be taking it apart. 50# on the torque wrench and yep its too tight.

Thanks john-9 I will give it a try

Needed to change the pinion yoke since one of the u joint strap bolts broke. Put a new one on and tightened it some with my electric torque wrench. Well I guess it tightened the nut way more than I realized. Threw the torque wrench on there and I over tightened it. Took the pinion yoke nut back...

Dipstick is showing full. Will put a new torque converter in this weekend. Got my fingers crossed that it fixes the problem.

Thanks for the responses. I will pull the transmission back out and inspect and purchase a new torque converter. Hopefully nothing is damaged other than the converter.

Pulled an a500 from a local junkyard. Had issues removing the torque converter bolts and just pulled the transmission at first. The tranni hung up on everything possible and at times the shaft of the pump was hanging inside the torque converter ( supporting all the weight). I ended up pulling...

Nope those aren't it. I found where they mounted. One of those "can't believe I missed that" moments. They are on. Not sure they will do much but can't see where it hurts anything or gets in the way. My motor and tranni are on roll around moving Dollys. Got to get the front of the car farther up...

Thanks for the pics. I don't know how much stress it will take off the bellhousing but I have them laying around in my left over parts bucket and I figured what the hell and throw them back on. Otherwise they go to the scrap yard at the end of the week.

It's been too long since I have taken them off to remember how the support brackets mount from the transmission to the engine. Anyone have any pics? I have looked around on the internet and this forum and have ran across the pictures of the brackets but none with them mounted.

Thanks for all the help

I am looking at rebuilding my 727 transmission. This will be my first and I have already searched the forum for suggestions. I purchased a book and have watched the rebuild series on YouTube. Before I give off into a rebuild any tips, tricks, or suggestions. I have some snap ring pliers, basic...

There is a good detailed thread at the top of the drivetrain page.

You could also buy and install the Shift-R-Gate from Duncan motorsports. It converts a stock shifter to some what of a slap stick.

Made one this morning. Thanks for all who replied

Thanks for the link. I have read over all of it and its the throttle lever extension plate.i did find where Randy filed for a patent for it so I guess he designed it. He doesn't sell that piece only.

Read an old post on slant six site about the kit Bouchillon Performance sells and I have all the parts off of a Dakota( cable, tranni bracket and spring, carb bracket for kick down cable that I will modify, edelbrock 1481 bracket and cable kick down stud) but can't figure out the adapter plate...

I have a 742 chunk with suregrip but highway gears but have a 741 with the gear ratio I want but no suregrip. Is it just a swap and tweak the gear mesh or is it more than that (different spacers, etc).
