Hi all, regarding 727s...is it normal for them to drain fluid out the tailshaft housing when the driveline is removed? Reason I ask...my uncle has a 68 gtx 440/727 he put it on jacks and pulled the driveline to get new Ujoints, and he said probably a quart or two of fluid ran out...I thought it may be a bad rear seal but wanted to get your input...it may be sitting slightly higher in the front but I thought it seemed weird to lose that much fluid (he thinks he just overfilled it) Anyway thanks for any help on this!
 
Nothing to worry about. It is normal for an automatic transmission to leak when you unplug the large hole in the tailshaft.
 
Ok thanks for the reassurance...that transmission was rebuilt only 2 years ago so I was hoping the seal was still fine..thanks again!
