I've got a 73 Power Wagon that has a 727 with the short tailshaft housing but I'm usure that the trans is any good. I also have a Hughes Performance trans that came out of another car I sold that only has about 3k miles on it. I need to swap the tailshafts and housings. How difficult is it and anyone know where I can find a write-up on doing this?? All I know is that every thing needs to come out the front end starting with the pump.

Thanks,
Greg

Pretty much a total disassembly and then reassembly.

Every bit of that ! ....I would look in in the big service manual to see if you want to tackle such a job.

Not all out put shafts are the same either. There are differnces in the splines where the planetarys sit. CRT's website has a good description and pics of these differences.

correct , best thing to do would be to just move the entire geartrain from one trans to the other .
