A transmission shop near lansing rebuilt the original 727 in our 64 sport fury. It does of course have the dual cable shift system. When we got the car home it was leaking out of the TC housing from being overfull and getting warm. We corrected the level. Then we noticed two leaks from the park lock housing AND the pivot bolt for the park lock lever. Fixed both of those. It still leaks a fist sized puddle after driving. It is not leaking from either cable. We will NOT be returning to where the trans was rebuilt. Can someone recommend a shop familiar with these that won't screw up the park lock cable that can find and fix most of the leaks? Thanks!!
 
I don't know how much experience he would have with that transmission, but I would call Ron Long:
Longs Transmission
210 N Lyon St, Owosso, MI 48867
Phone: (989) 723-5580

He does the transmissions for my Charger and My Barracuda. Both 727's. He did the original builds including transbrakes and 2 freshens on the barracuda and one on the charger. We've never had a failure and when we pull the trans for freshens they are still clean and dry.

He also rebuilt the trans in my 97 Ram pickup

I use HAAS transmission in Dexter. Ask for Dennis. He’s rebuilt all of my transmissions for the last 30 years.

Dennis helped us with the park lock housing leak. Good guy, just looking for another option. Very few know how to work around the park lock cable and housing without screwing it up.
 
You could try John Cope with Cope Racing Transmissions. He's in NW Indiana.
 
I do plenty of them. I'm in Waterford Mi.
