I’m sorting a basket of late 1960’s 727 parts and need dimensions to ID some springs. Looking for diameter and length of the large front servo spring and the same for the large low/reverse servo spring.

Front servo is 2 3/16" diameter with a free length of 3 1/4".

Rear servo is 1 15/16" diameter with a free length of 2 5/8".

Thanks! Bonus round, is this likely an accumulator spring: 2.3 long x 1.5 OD x .136 wire

Thanks again. I didn’t know there were different versions of the accumulator spring. Was this done to tailor the shift characteristics to specific vehicles?

The outer spring has little/nothing to do with upshifts. I have no idea what 's the purpose of some of the springs like the one on the right, it's so weak that it resembles a spacer more than a spring. shruggy
