More 727 questions

[hoover]

I am in the process of doing my first 727 rebuild.
The failure that caused the need for the rebuild was in the clutch pack with the belleville spring, the spring broke in half and fried the clutches and even toasted the plastic spacer.

I assume the converter is full of junk friction material.
The converter does not have a drain plug.
How would I go about flushing it out?
Also, the front pump faces are not shiny like I thought they would be.
What kind of surface finish is acceptable?
Thanks in advance

Find a pic of a Chry conv with a drain plug & drill/tap for a 1/8" NPT plug.

What should I flush it with?
Brake cleaner?

Put heavy grease on your drill bit and thread tap to grab the steel chips, to prevent them from falling into the converter. I have done this before on converters without drain plugs. I don't think this affects the balance of the converter much, because I think the weight of the plug would be close to the same as the metal removed with drill and tap operation. Just good, old varsol would clean it O.K. Still fairly inexpensive in a gallon can.
I recently asked at Car Quest about some cleaner fluid for my parts washer tank: on sale right now for $140 for 5 gal. Regular price is $185. Wow!
