The A-727 uses a paper fluid filter and has two transmission bands, one for reverse, and the other is a kickdown band. All shift ratios were 2.54:1 for first gear, 1.45:1 for second gear and 1.0:1 for third gear.

Can you add overdrive to a-727 transmission?

Convert Your 727 To A Six-Speed Overdrive With Gear Vendors’ Tailshaft-Mounted Overdrive Unit. Originally incorporated to increase fuel economy, overdrive transmissions in both standard and automatic form have become the norm for any new car or truck.

What does adjusting the bands on a transmission do?

A band that is adjusted too tightly will displace the fluid that prevents friction material loss. Constant contact with the spinning drum also occurs, and both the drum and band can become glazed to the point where a partial overhaul is necessary. For those reasons, bands are adjusted in small, precise increments.

Munroe’s Torqueflite A- 727 Transmission Handbook, HP1339 and Tom Hand’s Torqueflite automatic transmission were invaluable in understanding the 727’s inner workings.

What kind of torque convertor do I need for 727?

Convertor- The torque convertor is spec’d by the engine and not the transmission. The convertor needs to match the camshaft and gearing of the car. For our 727 (which will sit behind a 600-hp 383 Mopar), we picked up a Street Fighter convertor from TCI.

What happens when the servos break on a 727?

Servos- The forward and reverse servos in the 727 are particular weak points. This is what applies the forward and rear bands inside the transmission. If these break, you lose the ability to drive, which happens a lot on these transmissions.
