I have a 727 torque flite and it slips from 2nd to third when I punch it. It also slips when the passing gear is engaged. I have changed the fluid and adjusted kickdown at WOT. 1st to 2nd shift is good. and 2nd to 3rd is good until I get on it. Is she dying on me?

Sure sounds like it.

are there any external adjustments that could be made?

Not that will stop slipping.

thanks

Make sure the fluid is checked in neutral, with the engine running. Also adjust the bands according to the manual, not really hard to do...

no adjustment for slipping front clutches

if thats whats slipping

got a spare yet?

I went to Macon Ga. to get a 71 long tail shaft BB727 for a a999 hs/lu swap

how far is the band adjustment showing above the shift lever on it?

if its not a lot,that band has most likly been used up some with adjustments

the more threds showing the better

still if the clutches are toast no adjustment

how does the fluid smell? burnt? dark color?

leaks and low on fluid?

found a spare yet?

dont know much about them,but have changed a lot of them in just about every thing that had them, since I was 16 and

good luck with it

good times are when they are "used" and work

but i have changed a couple 2x cause they looked good "used" sitting on some shop floor and no worky..

Ok will recheck fluid level. It will drive in 3rd. Just hate the sloppy shift.

What's the history of the transmission and did you check adjustment of the front band ?

How do I check front bands?

I have pulled pan and changed filter. Only sloppy shift when I punch it

Your front clutches are shot, time for an overhaul.

Do it before this happens. Don't ask me how I know...
