Dr. Diff non-stick.

dvw - it's a slight bump backwards only when revved in neutral, there is no movement at idle. I've never had a trans do this before. The high/reverse clutch is 5 frictions at .084

Clearance for low/reverse clutch is .035 Rear band is 72 inch pounds then backed off 2 turns.

Update: with trans lever positively in neutral, car still bumps back slightly in reverse when throttle opened.

It's a Cope RMVB with a Cheetah shifter. Will check neutral detent/cable position again. Thanks.

Just started up a 727 that I rebuilt. Got the oil level up but have not test driven yet. All seems good cycling through the gears except the trans has a very slight creep in reverse when revved in neutral. Any thoughts on this before I test drive?

I know that at one time the 383's had oil starvation problems due to the rpm's and pan limitations in NHRA Stock. See a lot of accumulators under the hoods now.

I'm just here to admire the bead blasted case.

Unfortunately most of the transmission shops are now gone in the upper midwest. I'd like to ship the original to a shop with a good reputation.

Can anyone recommend a good shop to repair my original torque converter for a 383 road runner restoration? Needs new drive hub and complete inspect/repair. Not interested in any custom builds, just quality work on an OEM. Thanks!

Thanks, the technique worked great!

How do you remove the iron interlock type sealing rings found on a Torqueflite? Having trouble getting one off the governor support/parking gear.

I used a set of Mr. Gasket about 2 years ago, silver coating plus some kind of clear with drips? Looked sketchy but seemed to work ok.

I'll try the superformance. Thanks for the replies!

Iron heads on this build so I want .020 ish compressed.

Having trouble finding steel shim head gaskets for big blocks. The Mr. Gasket version has some kind of clear coating that looks irregular, and Mopar Performance gaskets are crazy expensive. Has anyone used the Superformance brand?

Ballistol works great, but does kind of smell like a wet dog.

Can anyone recommend quality replacement brake pads for the pin type calipers? I had stashed a set of Raybestos loaded calipers and just found out that they boxed 4 outer (thin) pads rather than 2 outer and 2 inner (thick) pads.

Ran a set of Hooker slip fit 2-1/8 on an RB with no clearance issues at all. On a B engine with an 11 inch flywheel, even the Schumachers hit the starter.

Thanks for all the replies! Paint completed:
