Well, I'm ready to install my new add-on (Manual Valve Body).
Is there any tips or tricks I need to know about? What do I need to look out for when I take out the old Valve Body? What do I need to do to put in the new one? Do I just disconnect the Kick Down linkage? The Trans is a 1965 727 cable shift. The Valve Body is from Tranzact of Indy. Thanks,Todd |

One thing I always forget to do is not to have the trans in Park when I am removing the valve body (block the wheels). Then the parking link gets caught in the parking pawl assembly...then the detent checkball flies down the street. Crawling around the middle of traffic looking for a 1/4 round metallic ball is no fun. Don't know if you'll need it. You will if the kit asks you to reuse your old parking link, which wouldn't be all that uncommon. Might want to check the case passage area for warpage while your in there. Straightedge and feeler gauge..there should be VERY little or no clearance. Other than this, it should be a bolt on. Valve body replacement is pretty easy, and usually trouble free that I am aware of..Not too familiar with kickdown cable, but I think all else is the same as the mid 70s versions.

trans
Easy as pie on a 727 push button trans...unhook the kick down linkage & drop the pan an unhook the cable from the valve body and reinstall the new one...... 727 push buttons don't have a rod from the valve body to the parking paw... it has a cable on the out side and NO need to touch it....

It was a piece of cake when I did it but I tried to remove the piece that threads into the tranny that the neutral safety wires and backup light wires go to. I cracked it in the process and it turned out you don't even have to remove that piece! D'OH!! 6 quarts of fluid on the floor after running to the store and back.
You'll feel a little gate with your finger that the park rod has to go through, good luck! |
