Which 727 rebuild kit to go with,TCI Pro Super or Truckmaster?

[rgates]

I've been reading up on the 727 rebuild threads, and noticed Ristow used the TCI Truckmaster instead of the TCI Pro Super.

this one is getting a TCI Truckmaster kit. pretty much the same as the Pro-Super kit,but without the race type valve body mods,which are not needed in this app.
I'm looking to just do a stock rebuild, and get the truck back on the road. Is the pro super kit a good choice for that? I ask because jegs and summit have the pro super available to ship today, but the truckmaster is three weeks out. I'm trying to get the truck rolling this weekend.

Also a friend of mine had an extra TransGo TF8 shift kit he told me to put in there while I have it open. Is the TransGo kit compatible with the TCI rebuild kits?

This'll be the biggest project I've tackled in my brief shadetree mechanic career. Might be a couple dumb questions from me this weekend... :rolleyes:

the TCI kit has the shift kit included.as stated, i believe the pro super kit has some extra street performance valve body springs over the truckmaster kit is all. otherwise same.


with the towing/rv shift kit it makes for a very nice transmission.

Thanks for the advice. I'll save the $30 and wait the three weeks for the Truckmaster.

Friend'll be glad to have his shift kit back for his 727.

To be continued...

summit usually ships backordered stuff earlier than stated.

Not to Hijack but I am going to be doing a 727 rebuild soon and I just wanted to say that Ristow's detailed post of the 727 rebuild has given me the push that I needed to pull the trigger on this one.

Thanks for the info on the rebuild kit also.

Ristow: I might be calling you soon...............

Ristow put a Truckmaster kit in mine and it is great! Nice firm shifts and no slippage whatsoever! Just be prepared to wait a bit for teh kit from summit.
