One more thing that the last “expert trans builder” messed up on my car. Original 1962 727 push button. I am getting leaks at each bolt that fastens the housing to the trans and also at the lock nut that holds the cable in. After a short drive each bolt will have a drip on them. Never leaked...

On a 62’ 361 engine, where is the oil pressure sensor located for the idiot light? Not for an actual measurement gauge.

Can anyone give me the length of the oil dip stick from the cap to the end for a 361 bb? I assume a383 would be the same? Thanks

Had my push button 727 rebuilt a couple months back. After copious amounts of money the car came back to me with the throttle lever seal leaking, parking brake housing leaking and quite hard up shifting.…. It shifts into gear with a clunk and both 1-2 and 2-3 are hard. Is this just kick down...

Looking for a supplier of rebuild kits for an early push button BB 727 - or anyone that sells complete rebuilt transmissions. I see various components when I google it but not a complete kit.

Anyone know of a person/shop that is good with a 727 repair/rebuild in or near western NC? I recall a thread in the past talking about someone near Boone, NC?

Getting the 62 Fury out for the year but finding that my reverse is slipping so bad it won’t go up the incline in my driveway. Seems to move fine in forward gears - although I admittedly haven’t taken it out on the road. Fluid level is good, new fluid (ATF-4 plus some Lucas trans fluid)...

Does an early (62’) 727 have a partial throttle kick down? Mine won’t drop to second unless I kick it into passing gear at full throttle.

Something I’ve been experiencing that has me stumped. My driveway is 1/4 long and quite steep. When I leave the house with my 62’ I push it in low and crawl down the driveway. When I get on the road I push it into drive but it takes several hundred feet at around 15-20 mph to shift out of low...

I’m confused after looking through threads regarding kick down linkage adjustment. On my 62’ Fury with 361 and Carter AFB. Do you adjust the linkage so that the selector lever on the transmission is all the way back at WOT - or partially back?

Haven’t turned up anything in the search so thought I’d start a thread. Anyone know what size the O Ring is that seals the shift cable shaft on an early button shift 727? I have an assortment and a 11/16 OD - 1/2 ID looks about right but I only have rings that are 3/32” thick and the groove on...

Attempting to use some shrink tube to seal up a leak on the shift cable of my 62 727. I have both 1/2 (2:1) and 5/8” (3:1) tube on hand. I thought I had seen a diagram showing the inside where the cable connects in my TM but apparently not. The directions say to use a screw driver to push on a...

I don’t think I have ever put my hand on a rear end immediately after driving some to feel the temperature. Took the 62 out for a cruise the other day, about 20 miles round trip. When I got home i immediately drove up on the lift to check that my speedometer pinion repair wasn’t leaking. I...

So, O ring and seal for my leaking speedo came today from Brewers. I pulled the adapter out and was surprised by what I found (aside from the flood of fluid).. I’ve never had the Speedo pinion out on an early 727 and they are quite different from the later non cable transmission. A few things I...

Would you replace this? Pitting is only on that one roller, the rest seem fine. Difference between a new Dr. Diff 742 seal and an old original

I believe that only the exhaust port holes on a big block that are into the water jacket are the outer holes - correct? Does this also apply to an early 361?

Another one of those loaded questions. Is a 0.060” overbore enough to cause concern in a 68’ 383 motor? Motor runs a purple cam with oem heads and about 10:1 compression..

Need some help. My speedo is not working and I'm thinking its the cable. A section of it got too close to me header and melted a bit. Anyway, while I'm waiting for a cable I wanted to buy a Cap to screw over the male connection at the transmission to keep crap from getting into it. Anyone know...

Need some help. Anyone have easy access to a dip stick and tube for a big block 727 that can get some measurements for me?? Looking for the length of the tube from the seat surface on the tranny to the rim (following the curves). also need the length of the dip stick itself from the bottom of...

What would cause the fluid in a manual valve body 727 foam up? Yesterday I was checking my fluid level after having the car out (hot and runnning in park)and every time I put the stick in and pulled it out there were noticable bubbles in the fluid on the stick. The fluid (Dex III) looks fine in...
