727 push button trans woes!

Pretty sure I'd have parts. Is the output shaft itself OK? I fixed the same failure for a customer this summer,

Output shaft appears to be OK except for a few bruises, will post some pics!

Yes...

It’s an emergency brake and WHAT does it have to do with being in park?

What did you end up finding?

What did you end up finding?
Doug

Cracked rear pump housing, broken park gear, vaporized governor mechanism. A&A(Rick) hooked me up with everything! Put in spacer to eliminate gov. made plate to replace park mechanism cover. Removed all the mech. Back together - working fine sitting on jack stands, waiting for snow to go and dry roads for test!

Weremived the governer and thinned the park gear down to 1/4" wide. Also trimmed off part of the snap ring boss in my racecar. Then cut a new groove in the output shaft, so no need for the spacer. If you ever decide you need park. I have a good source of parts.

I have extra park mechanisms and cables. I will be 78 in March, maybe the next guy will park it? LOL!

Back together on the ground moving forward and backward, all dressed up and nowhere to go. Streets are dry but the snow fell off the roof of the Mopar Pavillion, so no test hit today!

Fortunately for me, I know some history on your son's car! It's out of my league - perhaps a race with index - eh! My "Sinister Savoy" runs low to mid 10's - 1.40's @ 60 ft!

Ah but it's been toned down. Now that it's a dedicated racecar it's not as fast. No more turbo small block. It's lighter and slower. Though it's losing another 100lbs this Winter. Current best is 9.68 vs 9.55. Yours sure is prettier.

That car is so ridiculously clean for a original car, i would kill for that trim..

Lookin good! Still a full sec quicker!!! Lost a couple hundred lbs with the Savoy between myself/ previous owner and Lingenfelter light weight brackets and light weight glass bumpers (Sled City). Running the aluminum wheels (in storage, similar to Torq thrust D's) would be a few more lbs! The Crager's look nice but heavy....
Thank for the compliment!
