If so, Is there an existing guideline of what needs to be done and can I re-use parts from my 727? BTW I am not interested in the gear vendor. Thanks.


Change the input shaft/rear clutch piston support and reaction shaft support at a minimum.

There are some differences at the back of the input shaft where it mates to the intermediate shaft compared to the 727 so you need to make sure you get a very late 727 for parts or find the 89-93 46RH for parts.

If you can’t find them PM me as I may have what you need.

Are you the same "Transman" that writes for the TDR [turbo diesel registry]?
