Is there a "how to" post archived here on making the 727 shift firmer? Like: throw out this ball bearing, drill this hole larger, throw out this accumulator spring, adjust this bolt to x-inches, etc...? I used to have a Mopar Magazine article that told you how to do all that but have since stored it where I no longer know where it is! Thanks!

I remember that article and modified my 727, must have been about 25 years ago. There was a big improvement to the 1-2 shift but it didn't do anything for the 2-3 shift if I remember correctly.

The PDF file in the link below is the instructions for the TCI reprogramming kit, many of the mods can be duplicated at home...pay particular attention to the pic on page 11 concerning the orifice sizes in the steel separator plate. http://www.tciauto.com/v002/Instructions/Files/220000.pdfRigidizing the rear servo piston is important when doing the other mods, the heavier spring included in the kit won't be as easy to find but should be added too. Regardless of the TCI instructions and the common Mopar community myth, removing the outer accumulator spring has no effect on the upshifting; oldest myth in the Mopar world.
