    Hi there you 727 transmission experts! have a look at the photo here and give your advice as to where this leak is coming from. I have learned that a 727 that sits for more than 3 to 5 days can have the convertor drain back into the case then put the trans into an over filled state causing...

    I tohught I had a 727 Transmission but...

    I thought I had a 727 Transmission but... This makes me think it is a 904.. According to the model spec, the 925 was only used with the "buzzin' half dozen's" or older smaller Poly engines. It's a Canadian built 66 Polara 880 model with a Poly 318.
