Re: new filter and gasket for 727 transmission

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yup it is a do it yourselfer for sure!!

First off is get a large pan that will hold at least 12 to 15 quarts.  I am
assuming you know how to get your car in the air and be able to fit under it
  Next remove all the pan bolts but two at opposing corners.  As you loosen
the pan bolts fluid will most likely start leaking out so you should start
with the farthest from you so you don't get your hands & arms full of fluid.
 When you get all out but two back off the lowest of the two about 3/4 of
the way, then with a screwdriver pry the pan loose from the tranny and let
it drain.  When it's about done pull the loose bolt and let the pan rest on
the last one.  Now slowly loosen the last bolt until the pan is free and let
drain.   Now pull the filter and scrape the old gasket from the flange of
the tranny and the pan.
Drain your converter! 80% of the fluid is in it. Pull the inspection cover
>From front of tranny and turn engine over by hand till you see the drain
Plug, remove it, go get a cold one, and let it drain.  You will probably
Finish before it will! (-;  You will get about 6 + qt's out of it. Reinstall
Plug, filter, gasket & pan.  Fill with 4 qt's only and start. Then add the
rest of the fluid
Engine running. If you attempt to fill it all the way before starting it
Will spit most of it on the ground when you do start it!!   Also if someone
Has over torqued the pan bolts and bowed the flange inward around the bolt
Holes now is the time to fix it. Take the pan and a piece of two by four and
Rest the flange on the edge of the two by four and with a hammer tap the
Area around each hole till it is flat like the surrounding flange. If you
Are comfortable with it, now is a great time to adjust your bands!  What Say
You?  
 
If you take the time and Adjust the bands by torqueing and backing off you
will 
Find your self very Close to what you get doing it by sight. You have two 
Adjustments one kind Of hard to get at on the outside by the linkage and one
on
The inside back Of the pan. 
Loosen the lock nut, back it off about 4 or 5 turns and tighten
The center stud down snug till no play at front servo and back it off till
You get about 1/4 in gap between the lever and the servo. Hold the center
Stud in place and tighten the locknut. The reason to hold it from turning is
To keep your adjustment. The easy one is the inside one after filter removal
  Follow the same procedures as the front adjuster arm and wola you got it!!
PS: don't get to upset if you find some metal in the pan that is normal.
(AAmco will try and tell you it's transmission time, BS!) Also a lot of
Torqueflite's have a round magnet like a doughnut stuck to the pan make sure
You clean it & the pan as well as you can with any solvent! Also start all
Of your pan bolts, then snug them and lastly tighten them but not to tight
That the gasket swells out of the sides! And when your dropping the pan
Remove the bolts from three corners of the pan and leave one corner tight.
Pry the pan gently from the opposite corner that is tight with a big pan 12
Qt + under it. Your going to get about 4 quarts or more gushing out from the
Pan. Go slow and let it drain slow and you wont have any big mess to clean
Up! Be sure to make sure the pan is flat all the way around the flange and
Not bowed at the bolt holes because it will leak if left as is. Previously I
Explained how to straighten it with a 2 by 4 and hammer.
 
One last thing 
You might want to do is make sure your kickdown linkage is adjusted
Correctly.  Have someone floor the car (Not Running) and see if the kickdown
Linkage travels all the way as far as it will go to the rear. If it does not
  Adjust the threaded rod/rods till it does.  Your car should shift 1>2 at
About 25 and 2>3 at about 35 mph under normal acceleration.  Any questions
feel free to ask.
