Tonight, Nick is staying late to show us a little of what goes in to refreshing and re-assembling this iconic auto component. And this transmission is all the more special, as it comes from the 1969 Dodge Charger 500 that Nick is restoring for Eugene.

Howard Simpson (1892 - 1963) was the inventor of the Simpson planetary gearset which formed the basis of the 3 speed automatic transmission. Ford in the early 1950's was the first company to licence the Simpson patents, however did not produce the Simpson design until the introduction of its C4 and C6 transmission in the mid 1960's. GM licensed the Simpson patents in the mid 1960's with the introduction of the TM-400 and TM-350. However, Chrysler recognized Simpson's design, licensed and introduced the Torqueflite 727 transmission in 1956. Both Ford and GM tried to go their own way but relented once they realized the value of Simpson's design. An interesting era of automotive history.

Also light weight. Easy to work on. BUT there are more than two 727 versions of inside parts and engine bolt patterns. Don't mix them. Well you can mix the plates, baskets and clutches. They will work behind a 383 2 barrel. (Also if the pack has the ASSEMBLED right feeler gap. There also is total gap for entire assembly (very important)) Also do NOT put it behind high horses and torque. You also will be just be one plate and disc short of having a high performance build. There are also different clutch baskets (drums) Those are good for 340-360s but not good for 383/Hemi/440s. That is why the 4 barrel version of 69 Town and Countries are missing the engines and transmissions. Also the disc brakes. 727 with bronze plates were either police or racing builds. A real factory race HEMI/440 will have those. I worked in a tranny shop in the 70s. IF you do rebuild a real police vehicle. Hint: Good source for the heavy duty build. The only thing for direction choice is Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive. LOW is not an option. That is how to can tell it is not a replica. Also anything past D is locked out on the steering column. The column may or may not read that way. Some are locked out on the trans linkage. Nothing stinks like a old Ford FMX. It also likes to spit the special stink, burnt tranny fluid, on you, like a upset camel.

If people are asking how to put these together because they have one they want to rebuild, first, ATRA has the manuals. You can buy the ATRA manual for your trans. Thats also assuming you have the proper tools to rebuild it. If you need someone to show you then you probably dont have the tools to do it. And you should not attempt it. There is no cheap or inexpensive way around this. As I told many a customer, who complained about costs, if you cant afford the car, there are bicycles, the bus, taxi, horse or walk. Its just THAT simple.... If you want real power, dump the auto trans and get a manual! They are stronger, have an extra gear ratio, and unlimited stall speed and far lighter than an auto. Thats how we did it when I was younger. A cam, some head porting, a carb and a manual trans and nobody could beat us on the street or strip!

Nick here is and old school trick on 727s. When I graduated from Auto Tech School AAI in Glendale Arizona I went to work for Plymouth dealer and worked around Mechanics that had worked on the 440 six pack cars and Hemi cars new. And they worked on the old Monaco and Polara 440 Police interceptors . One of the techs told me back in the day they would pull the valve body down and pull the accumulator spring out for the piston on one two shift on the old interceptors . He told me it would make the one two shift firmer and quicker . I tried it an man did is shift quick and hard ! I rebuilt one of these a long time ago at school a student brought in a 69 charger and I rebuilt it at school I was surprised it actually worked . One of my instructors told me to use type F on the transmission he said that real expensive green ATF you buy for racing is just type F with a dye in it. Boy that was a long time ago.

My old Motor Transmission manual says to use "Door Ease" stainless stick lubricant on those clutch piston seals for installation. I found a stick of "Door Ease" at a local parts store 35 years ago. It is kind of like a wax stick. I still have that same stick and use it on every 727 and 904 I rebuild. Just smear it on the lip of the seal and on the beveled area on the drum where the seal contacts the drum. I have real good luck sliding the piston in then. It works better then anything else I have tried.

@@nickpanaritis4122 I used to help my Brother in law as he worked on a friend's SS/AA dart. One of the original cars. There's an article in an old cars mag with a story of our buddy Charlie Castaldo going to pick it up in Detroit. That car was a stick car that subsequently met with a rollover at a strip and he bought another from another racer which was the automatic. Chrysler had originally built them with a convert ( the m ?) And later went with something that the engineers came up with called the "F" converter. I heard it was Chrysler internals in a.english Ford Corrina housing. This was higher stall but still lost mph which was a prob. The latest I know of was the 069J which was the latest developed entirely by Chrysler. Not sure if that last fact but I can ask.Stall by then was over 4,000. The motors made so much power the design for a 3500 stall was easily exceeded. Next I'll tell a few rpm stories of what I remember!

George, you've outdone yourself! Love the choice of Bizet's "Habanera" from Carmen for the snap ring section at 36:50. Castanets are pretty snappy. I'll need to show this section to my operatic soprano wife. Nick's Garage is not only a source of MOPAR info, but culture, too. ;)

Not only is this the coolest car channel, it is one of the finest examples of a music appreciation class. Where else could you hear George Bizet, shred guitar, jazz tunes, country, Latin? It's a musician's dream. Being one who plays and listens to everything, I can say this is a treasure. As I rebuild brass instruments restore old drums, I watch Nick do his thing. Fantastic.

Your mistake was you weren't using assembly lube to keep the washers stuck to the hard parts. The washer shifted and caused you clearance problems. If you don't want to buy a tub of green assembly lube, bedroom butter(Vaseline) works.

@dreuxlescell3184 2 жыл бұрын
Interesting piece of information about snap rings is that the crisp or non rounded side carries the pressure load of whatever the snap ring is retaining. You can feel the difference by rubbing your finger across the edge. The crisp edge faces away from whatever you are retaining. Find a new snap ring and check it out. I learned this while at tech school learning how to repair transmissions for the dough mixers you would see at a pizzeria or bakery. Pass it on!

Dear Nick, we live in central Europe (Austria) and watch your Videos every week. The difference between Canada/USA and Europe: WE don't like Automatic trans and flatheads. If we buy a Car from USA with Autom., we scrap the trans and put a Tremec in. The gain of power is about 100hp! P.S.: Old Austrian Carbuilders (Steyr, Puch, Gräf & Stift etc.) NEVER built any Flathead since 1900!

Hey Nick, Your building a classic transmission listening to classical music, very cool. I have rebuilt my 727 in my International Harvester Scout II 4X4 adding a few tricks like installing a bolt in sprag and building the clutch packs to 426 Hemi specs, extra springs and clutches. Over my many years, I have also I have built 727's, 904's, C-3, C-4 and C-6 trannies, they are simple and fun. I am thinking about rebuilding the trans in my 2013 Toyota Sienna, The only pain in the butt part is it's front wheel drive and I don't have a lift, but that's down the road a piece. Plenty of time to think up something to get it high enough to get it out.

I can't wait to see Eugene's finished ride. The suspense has been built up more than Nicks Challenger build. I used to own a Barracuda Mod top in that same yellow color. I had to sell it when I went into the Service because my folks were moving once I was in. I wish I still had that Barracuda.

Note to first time trans rebuilders, do not mix the clutch pack return springs for are calibrated for that gear, do 1 clutch pack at a time. KNIPEX # 45 10 170 is the best snap ring pliers for trans auto or manual for the bevel end ring type

My wife came downstairs while watching and told her look how good Nick is, even his wife allows him to use the salad bowl to soak his clutches in tranny fluid. Lol She didn't buy it. I think you may convinced some of the subscribers that they can also rebuild there own 727 or A904 now. Now they can save a ton of money also if need be. Best video to date! Thankyou.
