    727 Shifting
    « on: May 09, 2008 - 11:10:09 PM »
    Some advice please from you Tranny experts.   

    I just bought a 70  challenger that is fresh off a restoration that has a 727 hooked up to a 440 that shifts pretty hard into 3rd the "first time" -- after that, its a lot smoother.   so, when first started -- it slips into reverse & first quite smoothly (and quickly) -- it shifts pretty good into 2nd  -- but the shift to third (without stepping on it at all) takes a bit of time (rpms) and, as noted, is a bit of a "lurch" when it happens.  As I said, after that it slips into 3rd much better..... but its got me concerned.   Any thoughts?   Any there any "additives" I should consider that might help get me through the summer before I take it apart next winter....?

    Thanks

    Did you try adjusting your TV linkage?

    Throttle Valve linkage/Kickdown linkage/the one that connects at the carb and 'tells' the transmission where your foot is. :D

    Thanks Goody.... this has a 6 pack, which I'm still learning about.  Any differences to watch for in this adjustment?
