Hey guys finished assembling my 727, everything went great. Did my air checks on the forward and rear clutches and air check front and rear servo's. Checked end play before tear down was .044, now .036. My question is on the park rod. When shift lever is in park and you rotate the output shaft 1/2 the time you have to turn the output shaft a little before park fully engages, is this normal? Can't see fully inside the tail shaft. Once in park it feels solid.
Thanks Matt

Yup perfectly normal. The parking pawl just needs to engage into the gear teeth in part. Park forces the pawl over on a spring, but until it's seated (With some rotation) it won't be locked.

Perfectly normal...
