Was running some numbers around and was wondering why not use the first two gears on a 727 like a glide then third will be overdrive.

The 727
1st 2.45
2nd 1.45
so 2.45/1.45=1.69
a glide is 1.76 first to second ratio

I understand the extra drag on internal components and needed to get the convertor set up right.

The whole idea of going to a glide is to get away from the low 1st gear.
Im not following you on the OD thing.
The only two gears between them that are actually the same is the ones your not wanting to use LOL..
High and 3rd are the same.
Both are a 1:1
