TF727 Part identification
I am missing the "little lever" on my 727 that the kickdown connects to.
Does anyone know what its real name is? I ordered a 727 book but it isn't
here yet and I struck out trying to find a diagram of the 727 online
(tellico, 4wd hardware, JC Whitney, Summit Racing, yahoo, google... etc)

I am using a Lokar shifter and kickdown it if that makes any difference.
Closest I found to a decent diagram was
http://riversiderebels.com/amccf/tec...ainer_serv.jpg but
I don't see the part on there, and even if it was, there's no names!

that is (simply enough) called 'kick-down lever'.

WARNING! don't drive without it! TF727's need that lever to control line
pressure. it will eat itself rapidly if you drive it without this lever
installed.
you could, though, pull the pan off the tranny, turn the screw to crank up
the line pressure and then drop the valve body, throw all of the springs
that come out and put it back together. less need for the kickdown lever
after this mod.

It's simply called a kickdown lever. If you don't have it installed, it can
and will damage the transmission. The lever activates a rod that compresses
a spring in the valve body which controls the pump pressure. The increased
pressure is there to apply more pressure to the bands and clutches. It also
controls downshifting (passing gear). If you need the lever, you can scour
the salvage yards, or possibly check with a transmission shop. We have one
here that always has the little hardware parts available. You can also check
EBay.

Re: TF727 Part identification
Yeah, I definately am going to hookup the kickdown. I went to the
dealership at lunch and paged through their catalog. I think we found the
right one. For $4 I'll know in a few days if it's the one! Otherwise I'll
hit up the tranny shops.
