Re: IML: Missing accumulator piston spring in 727

["Stevan Miner" <miner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

The spring for the accumulator was probably removed to "firm" up the shifts of the transmission. Was the a solid steel rod under the accumulator piston? If you want it back to original remove this rod and install the spring between the piston and the valve body. Chances are the transfer plate and some valves in the valve body have been modified if indeed a shift kit was installed. The best way to return to stock configuration would be to find another valve body. They are pretty much interchangeable for alot of years.

Subject: IML: Missing accumulator piston spring in 727

Rushing in where angels fear to tread, I began disassembling a "freshly rebuilt" 727 that I bought a few months ago and stashed in the garage.  When I removed the valve body and the accumulator piston, I discovered the piston spring is absent.  I do not want any so-called performance mods in this transmission, so I need to know where the new spring goes -- on the bottom (toward the valve body) or the top (toward the passenger compartment)?

 

Thanks and happy motoring,

 

David
