Transtar 727 Deluxe rebuild Kit

Anybody know how many frictions and steels are in the transtar rebuild kit?

last one i bought had 8 steels and 4 thick disc..and 4 thinner disc...

Thanks. I figured that was what they came with. I'm gonna have to call CRT or A&A. Going thru an original hemi 727 so I'm gonna need extra frictions and steels along with the wider front band. I can't find a kit specifically for the HD hemi 727. Anyone here rebuilt one of these recently?

Yes I rebuilt one recently, luckily the wide band was fine. Kits usually have 4 discs for each clutch pack. You need an extra friction and steel for the front clutch. I buy from a local parts warehouse so no expensive and tricky geegaws from the performance places.

Might want to try truck or motorhome applications.

Thanks Tom. Beings you wrote a book on these, what are your thoughts on installing a Transgo TF-2 in an original '70 Hemi 727 with original internals? Does it need it with the original Hemi internal upgrades? I have never experienced an original hemi 727 so I don't know what to expect. Will it screw things up with the different hemi valve body calibration, 5.0 kickdown lever and governor differences?

Ratroaster, I would not do it now. I have great respect for the HEMI trans and how they did things in it. Maybe tweaking another similar valve body and installing it would be ok but I would not drill the stock one. Too rare of parts if it's all original. I love the way those shifted on the track and the street.
Can you tell if it has the right valve body still? It was also used in a couple of other cars but they are not easy to track down anymore either.
I did several back years ago and wish now i would not have drilled them.

If you go TF-2 I wouldn't modify the hemi valve body, I'd use a donor.

Thanks again Tom! I haven't got inside it yet but i know it has the original yellow paint marking on the heavy input shaft with the machined groove so I don't think it has ever been apart. I think it's all original but who knows if it has all the original guts. I will find out here soon. I discussed this with A&A and he suggested not doing the TF-2 and just turning up the line pressure a couple turns. I question that to because the Hemi governor was altered to affect shifting points also.

Yes, I agree Nanket. I am so used to using the TF-2 that I just assumed I would install it when I went thru the tranny. I'm glad I researched it before doing it.
