Working on my 727 transmission and will be tossing the governor support assembly. Thinking of making a bolt-on aluminum flanged spacer to take up the gap for the park brake assembly and oil passage blocking. What are you guys doing for this modification? Also, anybody ever lighten up the sun gear?

I just use a spacer and the origional clip to hold it in place on my 904's
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

If you want to delete both the governor assembly and its support, all you have to do is remove them from the output shaft...no further action is required. Obviously, doing so will also delete the Park function.
A spacer of some kind is required if you only want to delete the governor assembly and leave the support in place.

All good info, thanks guys. Now what about lightening the sun gear? Anybody do any mods in this department?
I think you're referring to the park pawl gear? I removed the governor. Then the rear was faced off until the teeth were .275" thick. The front half was cut down so the the thickness of the entire unit is .830". It weighs 14 oz.

If you follow John's link, it will show Jamesc lighting a sun gear SHELL. Which, in my opinion, will result in zip. Also, the gutted governor housing is so light, I don't worry about it either. If you own a mill, and want to use it, carve away, it's a matter of personal preference.

Ah the sun shell. I removed 1 lb. along with swapping my A&A steel drum for an aluminum part (7lbs total) it picked up a solid .10 in the 1/8 thru the 1/4. 2 mph in the 1/8, no more mph in the the 1/4.
