Odd Ring Gear Question - 07/29/12 03:26 AM
Is the ring gear on a 727 torque converter the same diameter as the ring gear on a manual trans flywheel?

Shouldn't be because there are two multiple flywheel sizes that are matched to a bell housing size.
The torque converters should share the same diameter though.

Ooops! I guess I should have specified a 130 tooth, 10.5 clutch version of the manual trans flywheel! Thanks John.

Thanks guys! The reason I'm asking about this is that I am thinking of building an engine run stand. I can get(read I have) an empty auto case a lot cheaper than a manual bell housing. If the flywheel would work in it, that would make things easier, and cheaper. Just thinking out loud a bit...

You aren't the first to think like that. The questioned was posed to me by someone wanting to do the same thing , I haven't looked into it though.

727's have a 130-tooth ring gear.

Ten fingers, ten toes...does not equate.

Dang Cab! Here I was going to try a different approach and just measure the diameter of a torque coverter out in my shop and compare it to the diameter of the flywheel listed on 440 Source! It's a little warm here this weekend for me to get out on my walker. I just thought maybe someone knew the answer off the top of their head. Thanks for teaching me how to fish.
