Another A727 Teardown: No Forward Gear

[@PaulBroenen]

At 7:04, when you pull out the clutch pack, there's a steel immediately mated against the pressure plate, without a clutch. A few seconds later, when you inspect the clutch pack, there are two clutches mated together at the end. It would appear to me that someone incorrectly stacked the steels and clutches in that forward drum.

Good eye!

You'll move before the 20 years are up... Plus the boy is bound to toast another transmission soon, I would imagine.

Not meant to be a trans channel but i'm glad it is :) I'm converting my '62 727 to 24 spline and rebuilding, all these videos help a ton.. thanks for posting them

I have a 78 dodge powerwagon 440 matted to a 727 and a np 203 transfer case that only has reverse it worked then failed it was a rebuilt transmission so to speak I was thinkin I could adjust the kickdown band what is your opinion

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

Certainly worth a try. What does the fluid look and smell like?

[@travismatheney4080]

@@YoshimoshiGarage the fluid from the dipstick is still a pinkish red and to the hot full line

@@travismatheney4080 So the clutches are probably fine. If they go, it will usually be brownish and smell distinctly burnt.

@@YoshimoshiGarage I appreciate the help man

Did you ever figure out what caused it to have no forward gears?

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

Almost certain it was an improperly adjusted kick down

@@YoshimoshiGarage so I have a 91 d250 with a 727. Should I drop my pan before ordering a rebuild kit

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

I'd drop the pan and check the valve body.

[@PaulBroenen]

I suspect the incorrectly stacked clutches and steels are somehow to blame.
