    Automatic 3 speed 727 rebuild kit, which one and why?
    « on: August 29, 2007 - 08:37:49 PM »
    Ok, I've got my motor out of my 'cuda and figured it was a good idea to remove the transmission and rebuild that why I have it out.

    1.) I have never removed a transmission before, so any help there would be appreciated!

    However as the topic states I am in the market for a good rebuild kit. Something that has everything a novice would need to do the rebuild in my own garage, (including some instructions) like the B&M kit from Summit. Anyone got anything good or bad to say about this kit?

    Anyone got any kits and details on how to do this?

    For a nice complete kit with a shift kit, I'd go Transgo definately. But I think the bands are still sold seperate. FOr stock type rebuilds, or ones that are getting new valve bodies, I use Bulkpart.com.

    I will have to save out the pictures!

    I actually picked up that book, which is one of the reasons why I am considering rebuilding it myself.

    I found my way to TransGo. Do you have a parts list as to what all I need?

    Thanks a bunch for the info thus far.
