I have a 360 Duster with a 727 and Turbo Action reverse manual valvebody. The issue I am having is 3rd gear. First & second are great. When shifting into 3rd it won't always go into gear without playing with the throttle. Often when shifting into 3rd it acts like it pops into neutral. If it is in third and I let off the throttle and then accelerate, it also acts like it pops into neutral. Is the 2/3 band or clutches going bad?



Clutches in the front drum , it's not actually going into neutral , if it is then your rear clucthes are going bad , when you slip thrid the trans is actually back into first gear , if you are making enough steam it might seem like you are in neutral.

no adjusting of the band is going to fix this , even if your linkage is out of adjustment and you correct it you have proably already smoked the clutches enough that it will not hold .
