The problem lies in that the converter comes with 2 possible option of weights: butterfly and bars. Here are pictures of 4x4 transmission 727 on the left and 999 on the right 3. It's kind of cool but they are expensive for what you get. . The transmission and torque convertor can take anywhere from 9 to 13 quarts of fluid. When you couple each of the characteristics of this transmission; a short length, light weight, wicked-low first gear, and superior strength, it truly is the perfect combination for nearly everyone looking to put a manual transmission into their rig. So why not join us? Interesting I guess my brother ended up with 100% 518 then.
But I sure as hell wouldn't do that with a motor I was unsure of. That being said you would be better off going a different route imo. Or any other combination of switches you may want. A reputable transmission man said this would make a difference and cause vibration. I am selling the trans. We sturggled with the placement for this venerable gearbox, bouncing around between 2nd and 4th, ultimately ending up here.
This transmission is noted in the Manual transmission section. Street Smart Packages Performance Automatic Street Smart transmission packages are designed for Street Rods, Resto-Mods or Street Machines. Truck freight fees also waived on this item. There are two main top-cover designs to the T18. Look at the part numbers on the case, and it will tell you which it is.
The center wire on the transmission is the hot wire and the two other wires are ground wires for overdrive and the lock-up torque converter. A lot of stuff goes on in those things! Turbo 400 transmissions are incredibly popular in drag racing, monster truck racing and off-road racing. Fast forward a decade, to 1962. Also, 65 and below were a pushbutton design: 9. In this case, you may have to remove the top cover to check the innards. First, we need to differentiate between the pre-62 and post-62 transmission designs. The trans input shaft differs because oil is supplied to the lock-up clutch through the center of the shaft and it also has different spline length.
Like I drew it, from the square hole across to the round hole on top. For the higher horsepower applications the automatic transmission and converter combination is more often than not more durable and reliable than the clutch and standard gear box combination. Then place transmission into neutral, start engine, and quickly add transmission fluid until it reaches the full mark pan rail level on most applications on the dipstick. Again, no information, but likely a barrier to swapping the transmissions and the resultant carnage it could create. However after research I realize i have to purchase a new torque converter due to balance issues. The small change in position causes the starter to hit the block on an EarlyHemi or Hemi-based Poly.
My 727 is in need of a rebuild soon and I'm thinking about doing it myself for the expirience. You can get a three wire female connector from a junk yard or buy one from us. He said i would need to speak to someone with knowledge of how the 1970 cars with 360 engines came. Both of these fluids contain zinc which is the primary additive for proper lubrication for high performance transmissions. There are 8 bolts holding the cast iron top cover in place, situated in an odd hexagonal pattern. The picture of the 727 transmission is first, the second is a 904 transmission — Gasket pictures to see what you may have from a bottom view 2. Does this work properly without causing short-shifting?

Shift transmission into reverse and let run approximately 3 minutes. Look at the holes below in red. My other brother has the gear vendors overdrive in his four door F350 with a 5. Once in overdrive the transmission will not come out of overdrive until the overdrive solenoid is turned off, or the vehicle speed goes below 44 miles per hour, or the vacuum drops below 3 inches. Good reference on what each port does in the transmission case: 12. We do not recomend synthetic transmission fluids.
In essence, they were an A999 transmission which mixed 904 and 727 specifications with a lockup torque converter and overdrive planetary gear set. The big block 727's are much easier to find. Pat Blais was working on this last time I talked to him about five or six years ago. Not round hole to round hole, I would have to recheck that, but the round hole to the square hole is a dead give away. So, the next often asked question is whether or not you can use the smaller A-904-998-999 series transmission. Its super-heavy weight is what tipped the scales pun intended.
I've always thought overdrives were kinda dumb, and honestly, for the money I would have into an overdrive system, I could build another wedge, another tranny, and another rear end with a better ratio for street driving, and swap them all in when I wanted to cruise. V overdrive and they are like 3 grand so I dont think I will be going that route. Buyers also need to beware of multiple gear set ranges, which ranges from 6. From a distance it can be identified with it cast-iron main body, which has smooth lines and no ribbing. The C6 shared the exact same gear ratios, but was adorned with a series of internal and external upgrades so that it could be made to handle a lot more power and torque.
