727 Shift Kits?

[78SSII]

Hello,
did a quick search on shift kits and didn't come up with anything. Don't know much about automatics so that could be the problem.

Anyways, a friend and I are looking at going in together and getting a 1972 Scout II and put it back together. It has the 304 engine and 727 automatic tranny with Dana 20. As for axles it is currently a mix master with Dana 44 3.31 rear and a Dana 44 3.07 front with disk breaks. We are thinking of placing blazer axles under it with 4.10 gears. We are also looking at it being more of a daily driver then offroad rig, but still take it offroad.

As the vehicle has been sitting for a few years I thought it might be wise to have the tranny rebuilt and while it is being rebuilt possibly have a shift kit placed into it to help the shifts. As I said above I did a search and didn't come up with anything. Is there a shift kit for the IH 727 transmission? If so, what is recommended? Not looking for anything fancy, just something that will help stiffen up the shifts I guess is the correct terminology.

Thanks all,
bill

Any torqueflite-series at can benefit greatly from the installation of a transgo tf-2 shift/reprogramming kit. Information regarding the installation of a tf-2 will be addressed in this thread in the next several days:

This is the only shift improver kit I've used in the past many years and is simply the best with the greatest benefit.

And regarding an unknown transmission, I'd certainly pull the maintenance on it, everything ya need to do that is covered in those two sticky threads at the top of this sub-forum. While the pan is down, that is the time to install a tf-2 kit.
