Assembling the Forward Clutch: Mopar A727 Rebuild #6

In this video we'll cover assembling the forward clutch in our A727 Torqueflight automatic transmission, including checking clearance, air testing, and how to stuff more clutches into the drum than they did at the factory.

    What I like about your build series here on the 727 is there is no yap yap..Also the appropriate video speed up of mundane events like dropping in the clutches into the drum..

    I have had good luck not polishing or scuffing a used drum. In my experience, the slicker the surface, the better the band RELEASES on the 2-3 shift. I agree that it will help a new band seat quicker! I use a cast band core and have them relined with red or Kevlar depending on application. 3.8-4.2 lever or 5.0 in special builds. It's builder preference, but I do my springs "2-1-2-1-2-1" instead of "3-3-3", but I use AT LEAST 9 as you did. Thanks for the video!

    On the older drum you did not comment that the outer surface needs to be flat for the band to work properly. Also, the old bushing should be replaced. I would love to mess around with something like this, but afraid too many details would get missed. Thanks for showing this to us.

    I built at least 100 of these over the years, it’s overkill

    hi when i took apart the forward clutch i only saw 5 springs. ??? i see you pulled out 9 springs. Any reason as to why.. my 727 is date coded 1967

    Hey Yoshimoshi - man... At the end of this video... In your book... (hard to see the top of the page) It shows 2 sets of #'s for the forward clutch clearance. I know u point at the 2nd set of clearances (at the very right of the page) and you say out loud ".082 to 1.51 as the page reads. My clearances come closer to those first set of #'s (to left of the clearance #'s you quoted) Are those #'s for a 904? My clearance #'s for my particular 727 that was manufactured in 71' was .077 on the old used clutch pack. The new clutch pack installed and tested like you did w/ air gun... are at .067 I used the thinnest metal discs I have. What do u think please? PS the old trans worked fine. But the old clutches and bands did look pretty worn. Awe man... I guess I want you to say "close enough" but I think I know the answer already - Make it right w/ thinner metal discs. I'll see if I can buy some. Somewhere. Still, I'd like to hear your opinion on this oddity. Thanks bro.

    So going by all the performance shops recommending the thicker inner lip seal due to higher pressures will typically blow past the stock seal. I have had a complete nightmare trying to get piston in. I ended up using my spring compressor to push it down but think i jacked it up going by the air test (everything operates but can see some fluid spit out. Have you done it or have any tips on getting piston in. All the ability to typically rock and push with the small lip seal is gone w the bigger lip. Any idears??

    Where did you get those frictions, I’m currently trying to rebuild the transmission in my mail jeep, and I want to reduce slipping.

    What Rebuild manual are you using? I see a few of them on amazon. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    and how much did you have machined off of the top plate to gain clearance for the extra sttel and clutch disc ??

  • @samhicks97
    @samhicks97

    Question: what clutch thickness did you settle for while getting more than the stock 4 clutch setup?

  • @brianb5779
    @brianb5779

    I do have a question, setting up the clearance dry, how much (if any) does soaking them change. Curious if your measurement is borderline when its dry then if it would be out of spec with them soaked.
