727's are the exploders.




not if they're assembled and operated by someone that's competent.

the cause and cure for these failures is well known as is the reason they occur.

sure there are plenty of horror stories and pictures floating around the net, like guys putting a stock 727 behind a blown hemi and it fails. do you think the person that doesn't know better then to put a stock 727 behind a blown hemi also knows how to properly operate the transmission?

the 727 has withstood a lot of abuse over the years and yes in some cases has failed but calling them exploders is a bit of a stretch

for many applications the 727 is a perfectly fine transmission

as for the OP to get the correct answer you need to describe your application
