(1)adj both bands (2) R&R the front pump seal (pack the rear side of it w vaseline to keep the spring from coming off during installation). (3) R&R the filter and use the good MP pan gasket (4) run it

If you'r going to drop the pan you could take a few more minutes and do an air check just to make sure all the systems are engaging as they should.

drop the pan first look for metal shavings black fluid is clutches,if it looks good change the front seal put white grease on it put a quart in the converter, fire that puppy in adjust band according to the service manual . like we say at the shop,,, trany shop you can put sand in the 727 or turbo 400 and they will still work they are great transmissions the 727 that is ..

You use a special 1/4" drive socket (it's cheap) to fit the odd shaped adjuster nub and torque it to 72 INCH lbs w your 1/4" torque wrench then back it off (CCW) the specified # of turns say 2 or 2&1/2 then hold it in position and lock the large nut down but you can much simpler just adj each band to where it has 5/16" of play before the lever contacts the servo and with the pan off you'll be easily able to see/gauge this but I will defer to Kunkel for the final word on whether this is the correct procedure for you on this.

Roger that ....for metal shaving .... but also for band material and "piles" of "dust" ...which can be from the clutches. There can also be little bits of rubber..... from the front or rear clutch pistons (NOT good!)
