Quote: What's wrong with the valve that allows the converter to fill in park? ... like Ford and Chevy do.
I don't know what was done to the 727 in my GTS, but it was fixed by a tranny guy in the early 90s. The point is that it can be done. But, for what it's worth, I've never had a Mopar auto that took a long time. Start it in Park, put the shifter in gear (reverse or drive) with the foot on the brake. Any delay in engagement has been mostly negligible.
