Pulled outa drive today,heard a heck of a thumpin bangin noise then it stoped,came to stop...went to take off and it felt like tranny was slippin..then it ok,went like 100 yds and went to do K turn and wouldnt back up! WTF gave little gas and it was like slippin,then would grab and jerk and make all kindsa noise!!! fulid is full and clean.....WTF 727 135K miles on it....it sat in storage for 14 yrs tho.....duno Guess its re-build time!!

Bummer...I hate when that happens......

Welcome to the club. Mine died 5 miles from home so at least I didn't have to pay for the AAA wrecker ride. Everything else is adding up though, especially since I'm taking the opportunity to put on a new deeper aluminum pan and install a shift kit. But it's still far less than the $1200 for a rebuilt one that the parts store wants.

727 are a real basic tranny unless you have overdrive. Rebuild kit is less than $100 more like $65 or $75. Depending on how mechanical you are or price it through a shop . if they want an arm and leg try Summit or Jegs They have street trannys for less than a thousand dollars for Dodges. Part number TCI 111138 1967 to 1979 non lock up 727 for 318 , 340 and 360

I did my own as well when my reverse band and drum wore out. Put in the good clutches and steels and kevlar bands and already had transform tf2 shift kit. Rebuild kit was like $150 I think?

man that sucks. Good luck gettin it rebuilt.

Called a shop today,guy poses to B good and has couple locations,he says $900,$750 If I pull it and bring to him.....if kits so cheep why they want so muck ?
Duno got shop around,I can do alota stuff but transmissions was not for me!!! lol especially automatics Seen done alota times but I just washed parts
Gota shop around,seen place in net in Indiana that guy do nuttin but Mopar trans,he wanted $900 and good core....and that not shipping both ways!! lol

Rebuild kits are little more than clutches/plates, a couple of bushings, gaskets and seals. With mine I also needed all the thrust washers, most of the bushings, a race, a planetary gear assembly, bands (kevlar) and just to be sure contamination isn't an issue a new torque converter. Add on a bunch of labor and that guys quote might be in the ballpark, although I couldn't say for sure since I never had one rebuilt before.

Don't blame you for not wanting to do it yourself, not super complicated but it's sure a lot of work. Good luck with it.

PATC sells beefed-up rebuilds and all sort of parts for Chrysler and other transmissions. They have really good pictures too, which could help you identify what parts you're looking at.

I just looked at Summit's on line and they have overhaul kits from $54.95 for the soft seal kits and they range from there to a little over 300 for the Mopar performance kits. but it looks like between $150 and $210 you can get going again with a complete kit. if you do it yourself.
