Brian: What you have stated about swapping the ultramatic for 727 are great words of advice. More money is spent finding a half cocked solution to problems, than if the item in need of repair was fixed in the first place.

In my opinion the ultramtic has gotten a bad wrap over the years, because of misconceptions and lack of understanding about the transmission. I have driven and owned a good many a Chevy over the years, with the two speed powerglides, these tranies take forever to shift. No worse or better than the ultramatic. Now talk about transmissions that are real dogs and had alot of problems, how about the so called GREAT BUICK DYNAFLOWS.
