Kit fits all Torqueflite 727, 904, 998 & 999 transmissions without lock up converter which
come behind V8 engines.
First, read instructions carefully, then proceed to install kit by following each step individually. This
kit will require 5-7 quarts of transmission fluid. If converter is drained, 9-11 quarts.
NOTE: Passing gear linkage must be hooked up and adjusted properly, whether
with our kit or without, otherwise transmission will burn up.
Kit Includes: 1 - 17036 Special Valve Body Separator Plate
1 - 17126A Special Plug
1 - 17128A Special Rod
1 - 17270C Pan Gasket 727
1 - 19063C Pan Gasket 904
IMPORTANT: This kit will give excellent results when properly installed, but care must be
taken to read these instructions very carefully. This kit can be installed much
easier if transmission is cool. A new transmission filter is recommended.
NOTE: If replacing your filter, be sure filter is a single hole style. Be sure you
adjust the front band per specifications. NOTE: Some late models require
the use of a TORX-T25 Screwdriver.
STEP #1: Vehicle should have four wheels off the ground in case driveshaft needs to be
turned as mentioned in STEP #3 & #16. Place vehicle’s shift selector in reverse range.
Remove throttle pressure linkage and gear selector linkage located on the driver’s
side of the vehicle. Disconnect only at the shaft coming out of the transmission case.
You will note the two linkage levers on the shaft are fastened by a bolt in each case.
Loosen these bolts but do not remove bolts completely. After loosening bolts, carefully
pry levers upwards with a screwdriver.
STEP #2: Remove all pan bolts but two on one end. This way you will be able to drain the trans-
mission without getting soaked with oil. These two bolts can be gradually loosened off
after most of the oil has been drained.
