Should I let a shop rebuild it or should I just rebuild it myself... How difficult is it? Never opend one up before but I would like to lern.. What kind of special tools would one need? What about parts? Where do I begin and what do I need? Trans needs to survive behind a +600Hp Hemi (+ 300Hp shot of Nitrous) The trans has been overhauled about 6 years ago with an Turbo Action manual main body, sprag and the basic heavy duty internals, still got the stock drum, so I guess that needs to be changed to a billet one.. Carl Munroes 727 book seems to be a good buy... Thanks... /Tom

I cant afford to have a shop rebuild anything of mine, pluss im a tech, so I have been building 727s, 904, 518s, turbo 350s, power glides, and 700r 4s for years. I have been building the mopar trannys since I was 15, and started blowing up parts and pieces, and so far, I really havent had any issues. I built my own stand for them, and just dig in. Kasey

Carl Monroe's book is good, get a factory manual also. You will need snap ring pliers, a slide hammer to remove the pump housing from the case, a front clutch compressor (I made my own), a dial-indicator (to do it right), and basic engine mechanics tools. To replace the bushings, you will need the correct sized drivers (remover and installer). To make it easier to reinstall the pump housing into the case, a pair of 5/16-18 studs are helpful. I made mine by cutting the heads off a couple bolts. 5525071-727_clutch_compressor.jpg (64 downloads) 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I spent $3000 just on parts, even so don't think you're going to build a better trans than the pros. There's a reason a top TF will be over 6000. 5526011-BURNOUT.JPG (39 downloads)

He's one of the best I've ever delt with and wont steer you wrong. That's exactly what I did, and John put together a package for me based on HP and other vehicle info I gave him. Works great. I'm on my 4th home build. Had to redo my first one as I left out the inner front clutch pack seal - DUH. You improve with each one you do. On the other hand, my motor is only making 5 - 550 HP. I'd give serious consideration to having a professional like CRT do it if I was building anything over 600HP. Fastest 300
