Gentleman,
I hope hoping you can help me out with this one. I installed a 727 tranny behind my 383
it has a reverse manual valve body with a 2800 stall. I bought this off my buddy who had it in his 65 alter-wheel base car; trans worked fine when pulled. I put this in to find out I am having troubles.
Here is what I am finding:
1. Trans fluid is clean/full check in neutral at normal operating temperature; trans does have a fresh filter.
2. Before I put the drive shaft in with the car on all 4 jack stands I shifted through the gears to find the tail shaft properly spinning.
3. With the drive shaft in I put it in gear and nothing happens.
4. At this point I raised just the rear of the car in the air and then put it in gear to find the rear wheels spinning.
5. I then again put the car back on the ground to find no wheel movement.
6. I pulled the trans cooler line to find the pump does work as it made a large mess on the shop floor.
What are your guys thoughts with all of this? I am beside myself. Thanks for the help in advance.
Regards,
Tar
