switching to 727

changing out my 998 for a 727 and will the original linkage and dipstick tube and such transfer over?
Anything else i should know. this swap is not my
strong point.

Re: switching to 727

I think the tube and the linkage will be OK, but this is from the top of my head. You will hit a snag with your driveshaft. I culd be wrong, but I beleive the 727 is longer in the tailhousing than the 998.

Perhaps others will know more.

Re: switching to 727

Maybe 4" longer for the 727 - I am about to go from the 727 back to a beefed up 998. the linkage hooks up just fine, just adjust as req.

Re: switching to 727

IF the tube came from a stock 998 out of a Grm/Hort
it will have the contour for the swap.
Measure the 727 transm mount- bracket compare to 998.
I thought it was different.?
The driveshaft will be shorter and need the yoke for the 727. The 727 yoke may not fit on the smaller driveshafts,(could use a comination joint). AMB/MAT shafts have the large U joints to work with the 727. All else, speedo cable & linkage should be OK.

Re: switching to 727

I prefer TCI but it really doesn't matter. They do the same thing. For a few bucks extra you could get a manuel valve body and shift it like a manuel tranny. Also you wouldn't need the kick down linkage.
Just a thought.
