It currently has the original 65 727 with original floor shift and I want to keep that stock shifter. Anyone know what I will need to change out ?

I am thinking of changing because after almost 2 years for putting the car together, I finally got it driveable (in the yard) and it has a huge trans leak from the bell housing. That's after I had it rebuilt and bought a new 65 only torq convertor. Just frustrated but everyone told me all along to dump that trans and go later model. Told me it would leak forever. Just not sure if I want to pull it out and fight leaks over and over......and thought maybe a TCI or A&A would be less trouble ???

More than likely improprly installed from pump bushing and the converter has snagged it and pulled it through the seal. Have seen this before. Also possible bad bushing or pump worn and won't hold bushing properly. Its easy enough to fix and as you have to pull the tranny anyway and have paid to have it built I would pull it, have the problem checked out and fix it.

The input was changed in order to use later convertors, Cheetah valve body (revere pattern), and park system removed as in the A990 cars. Once in a while, a drip from the cable itself. Fixed that by removing the cable from the trans, removing the adjuster, cleaning with brake cleaner and carb cleaner, put rubber line over cable and filled between the cable and hose with RTV. Drier than a popcorn fart. FWIW, I'm sure that the 727 is stronger than the 833 also but not as much fun (for me).

My new N/SS drag car has a 65 pushbutton. Should run low 9s. My old car ran low 10,over 1000 passes with a near stock 65 trans without failure. Doug 7010299-racecar694.jpg (27 downloads)
