3.0 out of 5 stars
Not a Rebuild Manual,
By VanMoreSon "Sonny" (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Torqueflite A-727 Transmission Handbook HP1399: How to Rebuild or Modify Chrysler's A-727 Torqueflite for All Applications (Paperback)
This book is OK for the info but do not confuse it with a step-by-step guide to rebuld your stock trans. It has no index and the emphasis is on racing applications ('Cuda funny cars on the cover installation). There are so many variations through the years; it can't give you much specific info (the book states this repeatedly). It is hardly the "master reference" it claims to be.

I don't know what this last comment was all about but I think the book was awesome. I have never been able to find another book that even comes close to this book.
The book will not rebuild your transmission...if you think it will you are mistaken. But if you are mechanical and you would like to try and build the trans yourself ...you would be mistaken if you didn't have this as a reference while you were doing it. OR if you just wanted to know about the operation of the trans and how it is supposed to work ...this is the book However if you are looking for a great reference on what and how to build a transmission this book is the way to go. I had to buy the book for a friend when I was helping a friend with his car. I didn't know much about these units and I thought the book was a great reference. There are no other books of its kind available

Not for first timers,

This is an excellent book and how to make one of the best automatic transmissions ever made, even better. However I recomend doing at least one standard torqueflite rebuild before venturing into some of the modifactions that are shown in the book. The torqueflite is one of the easist automatics to overhaul and a very durable transmission. Information is this book is meant for people with some experience with this transmission.
This book is a huge asset to those who work on these and rebuild them. Years worth of technical information is compiled and shared in this book. Good torquflite mechanics may be pretty easy to find, but finding one with that has all the knowledge in this book are not.
