torqueflite 727 problem, need help....please. Long, sorry.

Absolutely wrong!!!

Adjusting the cable/linkage so that the transmission lever is full back at
WOT most often results in late part throttle upshifts or no WOT upshifts.
When properly adjusted the lever will be NEAR full back but there will be
some travel left.

The "optimal" setting is one that suits the individual driver. As long as
the transmission will kickdown at WOT at a road speed of 40 mph or so, the
adjustment is sufficient to prevent any low pressure associated damage.

 

OK, Superior I've seen out here. Could they be marketing different
names regionally?

That's the one, seen oft times in T-buckets with a '53-'55 Cadillac
transplanted into it.

So, it would seem, with a TV adjustment, he's home free.

 

So he says. Charlie Nudo, aka "duty-honor-country," is the troll who
trailed me in here. And, FYI, I've rebuild two 727s myself. How many
has Nudo even touched? Zero.

The rear clutch check ball thing came to mind, because I had the same
problem with a Road Runner I got on the cheap with a "blown" trans.
What happened was that the check ball was just plain missing, and the
rear band was fried. Everything else, including all hard parts, were
in great shape, so it was an easy job. I used an ATP master kit on
that one, and was later told I'd screwed up by using their stuff,
although I sold the car and never got a comeback on the trans. One
shop owner told me that ATP seals weren't up to par, but yet others
say their stuff's perfectly reliable. I used some seal repair items
on a Ford C6 that held up for over 100K miles, so....

Any opinions on that?

 

So the FSM is wrong, then.

 

Please reference ANY Mopar shop manual that specifies the lever must be full
back at WOT, include year, page, paragraph.

What you will actually find is that EVERY FSM specifies the adjustment be
made with the carb/throttle body at warm curb idle and with the transmission
lever full FORWARD. When correctly adjusted at idle the position of the
transmission lever at WOT will automatically be correct due to the design of
the factory linkage/cable system.

 

That's exactly what my FSM says for the overtravel rod system for '86,
and a recheck showed that this will also put the TV fully in at WOT,
at least on my application. I can shinny underneath and recheck it,
but that's how it worked out last time I set it.

 

Since you have a custom install I would look for a different throdle lever
(the one on the trans) I have seen them in different lengths depending on
application. Another thought Has it been converted to carb? You need the
correct mopar adapter lever for the carb. Front band & rear bands seldom
wear out on 727 So that wouldn't be a problem unless overtightened. The
quickest way to distroy a TF is to leave the throdle pressure linnkage
disconnected I had the MP deep pan on mine with street shift kit

 

John,

John,

Check this out- DeserTroll is now trying to say a TH350 only came on a
Chevy- this goes far to show his total LACK of automotive knowledge- as
it was a common transmission on Buick, Olds, Pontiac as well, from the
1960's all the way into the 1980's

Here's his latest post:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt....246be/bbde7085682b61bf?hl=en#bbde7085682b61bf


And here's the obvious info that totally DISPROVES what he's saying. I
must have seen 100's of TH350's in Buick-Olds-Pontiac cars. I parted
out many myself, and my Firebird still has the original TH350 it came
with in 1970.

Engine Compatibility and Adaptability
GM
The front face TH350 is natively compatible with either the Chevrolet
90 degree "Small Block" & "Big Block" patterned engines,
including the V6, V8, I6 & Iron Duke I4. Another version, the Buick /
Oldsmobile / Pontiac (BOP) TH350 will be compatible with the Buick 90
degree V6 & V8 engines, and the Olds & Pontiac 90 degree V8. This
"BOP" version features a "valley" at the twelve o'clock
position of the block flange where the peak would be on the Chevy
(pictured) version.


THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING DESERTBOB TELLS YOU- he's a
poser.

 

You already saw pictures of the engine, with your picture on the
manifold- here it is again, you ricer.

Also, the Chevrolet THM350 does NOT fit the Pontiac

WRONG- I still have the owner's manual for my car, it says right in it,
TH350

The TH375 was a TH350 with a LONG TAILSHAFT, used in full sized luxury
cars- you DUMB ASS.

Explain this:

http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/convtrans/gm/gmth350id.html

Bolt Pattern
The Turbo 350 case commonly comes with three different bolt patterns.
Some cases have a Chevy engine bolt pattern, some cases have the Buick,

Olds, Pontiac, and Caddy bolt pattern, and some have both. It is well
worth getting the dual pattern, or unicase, Turbo 350. If you ever
think you might do an engine swap, you won't have to worry about the
transmission. It will also help the resale of the transmission because
it will work with more engine combinations.

The Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and Caddy engine bolt pattern is easily
identified by the valley at the top and the Chevy pattern is peaked on
the top. The dual pattern transmission in the picture on the right has
both patterns. You can see the valley and peak. Each set of bolts
around the top is in a pair. The alignment pin and the lower bolt is
the same.

IT'S DAMN OBVIOUS- DESERTBOB NEVER OWNED A GM V-8 POWERED CAR- HE KNOWS
SHIT ABOUT THE MOST COMMON TRANSMISSION GM EVER MADE ALL THROUGH THE
1970'S !

 

You accused Bob being obsessive and yet you take the time to Photoshop
his picture, print it out and put in on someones engine. You are the
psycho and this proves it.

 

Why no pics of the whole car? Too ashamed? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

like bicycle aka deludo will ever own something this nice...

never ! he prefers rice !

 

Charlie Nudo doesn't know a THM375 from a THM375B from a THM350.
Everyone at GM wound up with a permutation of the cheesy THM350 later
on, but not so in the beginning. So much for his claims of being an
"automotive expert" and a 12 year "shop owner!" If he even had a
shop, it was closed due to poor repairs and slovenly work, no doubt.

Go ahead, Noodles...worm your way out of this one!

 

You accused Bob being obsessive and yet you take the time to Photoshop
and you took the time to put up these posts, about sneaking into my
gated community and sneaking around my house- then you deleted them
after you talked to the cops and they said they'd arrest you

what about that ?? now, who's the psycho ??

bicycle aka deludo aka white trash aka (dozens of other usernames)

anyone interested in finding out more about bicycle the cowardly net
stalker, email me at

I'll gladly forward to anyone ALL the incriminating files I have on
"bicycle"

don't worry, he's NOTHING

 

The rust lobsters on that tin can must be huge. Nudo's pic here shows
ONE thing...sloppy work and a really fucked up induction system.

 

A '70 455? Came from the factory with a THM400. Plus, looking at
this pic (which you probably stole elsewhere on the net, which can be
checked by looking at the JPEG coding) I do not believe that this is
the same car.

 

just like the Chrysler manual was wrong, right Boob ?

Pontiac, Buick, and Olds used the TH350 on all their base-line GM
A-bodies, that means Cutlass-Skylark-F85-Tempest-LeMans-from 1968 all
the way to 1980

also in all base-line Camaros and Firebirds 1968 to 1981

where the HELL have you been ?

The TH350 in my car is ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT

this scan directly from Chiltons 1964-71 repair manual

http://i9.tinypic.com/2z7eefa.jpg

you are one stupid, dumb-ass liberal idiot

obviously you never owned or worked on a GM V-8 powered car at ALL, it
was their most common automatic of the 1970's

you DICK !

 

we're still waiting to see DeserTBob's 1978 Honda and 1986 Chrysler...

they must be really "nice", smelling that is...

and look like a family a doberman dogs were living in them both...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!
