Re: IML: "Pan" for '66 727 Tranny

["sjak brak" <imperial1973@xxxxxxxxx>]

In order to stop leaks, also consider a better gasket. If you go to a local Chrysler/Dodge dealership, ask for a 46RH gasket, these fit the 727 but are made of a much better material than the original style gasket. These wont leak and are re-useable. These cost only $15 in Europe, so probably it'll be even cheaper in the USA.

 

Besides, I dont know how tight your budget is, but a deeper tranny pan with a drainplug is always a good investment, even the $55 pieces. Unless you really awnt to keep everything stock or stock-looking, I'd strongly recommend one.

 

For example, Mancini sells them:

The drainplug will ease up service in the future, and the added capacity will help the cooling of your ATF (which is ALWAYS a good thing on an automatic transmission).

Hi All...before I try going to a junk yard (if I can find one near here)....does anyone have an extra 'pan' for a 727 transmission that they don't need cluttering up their kitchen?? I need to replace the pan on my '66 LeBaron's trans. as some time back about 6 years now, there was some work done by a shop (previous pwner) and they messed up the pan after they apparently broke off 3 of the pan bolts. The shop has tried everything to stop the slow leaks from the pan (yes, the busted bolts were removed and replaced) but since part of the pan had been cut away (I have no idea why) I think its gonna require a replacement to help keep the fluid from dripping out.
....figured I'd ask to see if anyone had a busted tranny that had a salvagable pan before i try crawling around in the jusk yards.
thanks bunckes!!
