Thread: 727 Torque Flite Auto shift

Tweet

.The 727 Torqueflite is a three speed automatic transmission manufactured by Chrysler in the 1960's. Installing a 727 is a simple but critical process. The installation follows a simple step by step procedure, but can often end up being much more complicated due to the old age of the transmission and the vehicles it was originally installed on. It is generally advised that only someone with previous mechanical experience attempt the installation.
