I thought I read that as well when I was putting it together. For whatever reason it sat lower once flipped.

Just updating for reference. I pulled the pump and opened it up. When I was looking at the gear set the outer ring looked high in the set so I pulled it out and flipped it and it sat just a hair lower in the case. I didn’t know they were directional but flipping that outer gear set bought the...

Would the converter slide in all the way if the spline count was off? Ok, I thought I may need to open it back up as well. It is weird, the converter will not spin at all, not even a slow labored turn. Just full stop.

Thoughts on why my torque converter will not spin on freshly rebuilt 727? I have it fully engaged into the pump and then it refuses to turn. I rebuilt the 727 so did I set something up wrong? The center shaft spins and rotates the tail shaft but once engaged with the pump it will not rotate.

Ok that is what I was curious about the most. I didn’t know if they were “reversible” so to speak. I’ll likely just throw a nut on a 3” bolt if I don’t pull them apart and add the coil the right way. Appreciate the quick reply’s guys.

I can pull it apart and add the heli coil. I just didn’t know if it was possible to install the helicoil from the trans side without pulling it apart. Then the mounting bolt would basically go into the back of the coil if that makes sense.

That was my second move but I didn’t know if it would cause any issue with the case and crack it or something. It is flat enough for a washer to sit flat.

I have a thread stripped on my 727 where it mounts to the 440 on the lower starter side. Should be a 7/16”-14 be the threads are toast in the transmission case. This hole being all the way through the transmission case can I insert a heli coil from the back side fine? Or do I need to pull the...

Any help aiding the below car? Wondering about inquiring to purchase it and was curious what it might be worth. Interior is shot, wasn’t any deep rust, and no engine from what I could tell.

Perfect, appreciate all the help with this guys.

Ok, definitely needed to use pliers when vertical. Sitting on the tailshaft and using pliers I am getting .042".

In that picture is it actually sitting on the tail shaft or should the case be supporting it?

Sorry, .015 is what it is. Yes, tailshaft with snap ring is in place as well as all washers.

So the .15 should be fine take horizontally? I didn't measure on disassembly. I am getting the last of everything back assembled, installed pump with o-ring and torqued all bolts to spec then took the measurement and that is what I'm getting.

What is the proper way to take the endplay measurement? I keep seeing conflicting things about letting the case support itself and pulling up on the output shaft and then some say to lay it on its side and pull on the output shaft. I will say that I cannot seem to get any reading out of when it...
