CHRYSLER 727 Torque Converter install

This $3k Challenge is Sorta Stock Mopars vs Jonny Mopar (& team) to build a car in 3 months with a $3,000 budget and race at Barona CA to see who built the better car. In this video I install the torque converter into our MOPAR TRANSMISSION 727.

The MOPAR TRANSMISSION 727 transmission should hold up to the abuse of our nitrous injected 383 that’s going into our 1966 Plymouth Belvedere.

Great tip showing how the torque converter should look when it's fully seated!

Awesome, thanks for the video Johnny! It’s a great refresher since it’s been awhile for me doing this! Great tips and tricks to make life easier! You just saved me lots of time and frustration! 😃👊🏻

Solid tech tip about lining up the converter to the flexplate. That's going to save someone a ton of time and frustration.

Dumb question, but I'm pretty new. What's the piece called that you're removing at the 51 second mark?

I'm new to Mopars so bear with me . Does the flywheel come attached to converter ? I have a rebuilt 440 and am Buying a TCI 727 . your videos are helping me tremendously ! Thanks

Man I installed mine yesterday for my 66 Fury, now I've got it in the air trying to bolt it to the flex plate and I don't know if I marked it wrong or what but I haven't got it lined up yet. What a pain.

One thing I like about the Chryslers is you can drain the converter is a little plug some fools got it but GM don't have it it just doesn't make sense to be able to change your tranny fluid all that fluid still in your converter You Keep On Truckin man you're doing good

I was taught never to dry tap anything even to chase threads.

Hey not exactly related to this video but how hard is it to fix a leak coming from where the shift linkage goes into the trans?

[keithsims]

I'm having issues getting the Torque Converter in the output shaft won't seat in.

Handy tech tip for young players...Crazy old Mopar and their offset shiz...hahaha

you know your not suppose to put grease on the seals it will eat them up. You should put tranny fluid or special seal grease just fyi.
