I had the 727 in my 67 Coronet rebuilt by a reputable shop and it died in the first 5 miles of driving it so I brought it back to the shop and they performed another full rebuild. The builder told me that a servo had caulked sideways in it's bore and caused the drum to weld itself together. When I got it back it ran but something was still wrong. The car would still lurch forward in park if you revved the engine and shifted so I pulled the pan and checked the linkage and it was adjusted right. Now it engages in gear late even when warmed up , slips in all forward gears, leaks out the front of the torque converter and gets beat by street sweepers and turtles in the quarter mile. The 2nd rebuild left me without a car for 2 weeks and I am unsure that the builder knows what he is doing. Has anyone had a similar issue with a Torqueflite. It is still under warranty but I don't want to give my car up for another 2 weeks for another bad rebuild. To make things worse the local ford guys are giving me a hard time and if I can get my ride running right I will make these Mopar haters eat there words. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking
