Hello All,
I would like to change out the front servo for any early style on a late 727
Question is can I accomplish this R/R with the trans in the car with the valve body in place also I don't have a special tool to compress the dual springs on the pre 70 servo, .any tricks? motorcycle valve compressor possibly help.
Thanks jimi

It can be done in the car. Use a C Clamp vice grip. Personally in my experience there's not a whole lot of difference in performance. The main reason I use them is so it can use 2 release springs. I believe A&A makes a HD release spring for the later serve. To make them solid use a couple of bronze #3 thrust washers as spacers.

I doubt if you'll be able to do it with the VB in place, you need access to the band anchor and link.

Ok, Thanks for your answers I will take the VB down .
Hoping the dual springs in the earlier type will prevent some remaining shift overlap at low throttle .
does anyone think it will help ?

Does it have a restrictor in the high clutch feed? That might be easier.
