i guess in Gene's case, it would probably be best to have someone who knows the ins and outs of these transmissions, do the job.
it's too bad you aren't [lots] closer. there is a guy down by the Pittsburgh airport that is VERY good with these transmissions.

They really aren't that complicated. The 727 is probably the simplest auto trans there is, part of what makes them so reliable. The 518 is basically the same with a compounder added to the back of it. If you have a press with a little ingenuity and fabrication you can get the O/D portion apart. I once used a floor jack and my steel work bench to get one apart. It looked pretty sketchy but it worked. Of course the tools are available and probably don't cost that much.
