    Part throttle kickdown conversion for 727
    « on: July 19, 2010 - 07:42:23 PM »
    Hi,

    If I have understand correctly the 71-> 727 transmissions are having a part throttle kickdown feature.

    Is it possible to modify the older pre '71 valve bodies having that same nice feature?

    I did it - I have 68 VB and just bolted on the PTKD module I bought at ebay - this seller is reliable and has tons of parts for torqueflites (torqueflite_patty or something like that).
    The tranny is not mounted in the car yet but this modification is easy and shouldnt give any problems.
