valve body question

would a valve body from a 65 727 in a 68 727 have any problems? i know the 66-7? is the same but what would happen with a pre 66? I hada 65 one in mine and the trans had no reverse or high gear, i pulled the valve body and did the press. tests and all worked right... could it be my valve body? I have a aftermakret one i think its turbo action i bought like 2 years ago for a 66 up style, just wondering if that could be my problem

nobody knows about transmission valve bodies???

65 is cable shift...

I know there are about 10 different types of Valves bodies for the 727. I would double check tat all the prts line up with your transmission. It could be very likely your valve body is the problem. I know that A&A make one specifically for the earlier style.
AL...

i know 65 would be cable shift but irt isnt, it may just be a 65 tail housing it has the different trans mount and when i talked to schumacher he told me it was 65 style...

do you have the stamped number's off the side of the pan rail? that will indicate the year and application of the trans, also the valvebody will have a cast number inside a little sunburst, that should indicate the year of mfg.

I was thinking that from 66 to 72 was interchangeable and 72 up to ?? was interchangable,,but I may be thinking 904's, hope this help's.

As my past experience you can not use a65 valvebody in a late model case the rooster comb is different , plus you already know it a cable shift , now you can interchange parts like valves and upper half but thats about it imo
