It had reverse pattern, manual shift, 5 clutches in the drum and would shift VERY hard into second and VERY hard into third. It would sometimes chirp the tires in third it shifted so hard. I have never been able to duplicate this third gear shift with any shift kit I've used since. Any idea what B&M did to make that 727 shift so hard into third gear? I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!
