Re: Need some 727 assistance - 1965 specifics





All A727 and A904 transmissions used a cast aluminum case. The tranmission part number is stamped, not cast, into the case on the right side of the unit just above the fluid pan.

1965 A727 part numbers -

2466 111 - Plymouth/Dodge with 361 or 383 non-HP (early)
2466 112 - Chrysler (early)
2466 113 - C body with HP and MP engines (early)
2466 134 - B & C bodies with 318, C body HD 6 cyl taxi package (early)
2466 135 - A & B bodies with 273
2466 147 - Chrysler (late)
2466 148 - C body with HP and MP engines (late)
2466 149 - Imperial
2466 152 - C body HD 6 cyl taxi package (late)
2466 166 - Plymouth/Dodge with 361 or 383 non-HP (late)

1965 A904 part numbers -

2466 118 - B & C body 225-cid
2466 119 - A body 225-cid
2466 120 - A body 170-cid
2466 122 - B body 273-cid
2466 123 - A body 273-cid, LHD

John,
The break is generally between 1965 and 1966, for the overwhelming
majority. There are some documented 1966 A-Bodies with 1965 parts that were
built out early in the 1966 model year.

The 1965 727 B and C Body transmissions (popular for B-Body
applications) will be readily identified as having all of the following
features...

1.  Cast aluminum case.

2.  13/16" cable shift hole above the driver's side front corner of the
transmission oil pan rail. The hole may have a cable in it, and may or may
not have a 2" diameter cable adjusting flange with a 5/16"-18 lock bolt.

3.  5 bolt cover on the bottom of the tailshaft housing with a 15/32" hole
(or a cable) facing the driver's side of the car. If the cover is missing, you will be able to see the 5 holes, the irregularly shaped gasket surface, and the internal workings of the park lock assembly. (Note: Removing the 5
bolt cover with the cable installed can result in damaged parts).

4.  The slip-spline output shaft.  Earlier 727 transmissions will have a
round flange that mates to the ball and trunnion joint.  Imperial
transmissions of this vintage will have a companion flange that accepts a
u-joint, the flange looking much like the one on most rear axles.  Threads
on the end of the output shaft indicate one of these transmissions with the mating flange removed. Almost any slip-spline transmission without features
1 and 2 is a '66-later piece.

Doug,  if you could forward pictures that would be very helpful... I have
the thing out where it's easy to inspect but it's been so long since I've
seen a pushbutton type out I've kinda forgotten.  I realize the splined
output shaft is a given but that really doesn't narrow it down much since
everything I've got has splines.  Is there a casting or model number on it
some- where as well - that could be used as a cross reference?  I've often
noticed a lot of transmission parts seem to use 1967 as some sort of
timeline/parts distinction what's the significance or change that occured
then?  Thanks so much for your help thus far...........
John Hammond
