I find the 727 behaves better with the adjustment being all the way forward at idle. For street driving. The upshift governor can be changed to a different RPM for WOT changes.


I want my fair share

Come on John, The transmissions aren't that weak. I have driven my autos since the 60s like a stick and never had a failure because of it. I probably shift them 50% of the time and I know lots of other Mopar guys thet do the same thing with no trans troubles. We all can't be lucky and getting away with out failures. I think you are a bit to worried about this.



just had to share, when I was a younger man I did rollbacks often (driving in reverse while still rolling back slam into drive and floor it) loved that dodge dart,toughest slant 6 ever,tranny never failed,sold it with 200,000 still running today just a rot box, carry on just a flash back

Another example of doing it wrong and getting away with it versus doing it right.

No mater what I do to the rod.....set so at WOT it has about an 1/8" of play left it doesn't move my shift point higher... Goes into 3rd at about 15 to 18 mph, if I floor it she shifts at about 4,800rpm . I always thought that the governor is the final say in shift points.
