There has been 1750 views to this thread. I'm sure some are double looks, stick shift guys, non Mopar owners, Late model non 727 owners, etc. We've had 20 votes saying the voter personally blew up a drum. My bet is just about anyone who experienced personal failure voted attesting to that fact. Lately there have been many posts of paranoia about 727's. Many of these posters with no personal experience. This was out of line in my opinion. Shields, bolt-in sprags are no more than band aids. If you are worried about a drum explosion skip right past them and buy a good drum. If you have enough power to break the drive train this is probably a good idea. But as the poll shows most 727 trans will lead a happy life when driven correctly.
