yeah, i know why you got the 727....only the best transmission in the world if you ask me. i had a 1983 Cordoba with one.....through it in reverse once when i was still moving forward.....nothing....worked fine...bullet transmission. i gave that car alot of crap....i was only 16.....so you can image the abuse that motor and trans got. LOL!! my grand father had one put in his patrician, but the PB U/M has been put back in since by the new owner. guess my grandfather didn't like them either. LOL!!!

i am planning on getting an U/M from Bob Aller, we have worked out a deal. i want the car to be as original as possible. some of the people i know that have rebuilt ones from him have had them in their cars for nearly 20 years now and they still work fine. he worked for Packard from 1949 to when the closed down. nice guy on the phone too.

if i decide to go with the 727 i will call so you can tell me how. i plan on dropping the trans this weekend so i can work on the motor starting and so i can get to the trans easier to see what is wrong.

should be lots of cussing going on i am sure.
