After 40 years I suspect that the guys that knew the BW trans are below the sod or don't know their own names.

That's hurtful.
We can get new knees and hips easier then we can buy parts for the BW M12/M11. But we are still above the ground:) |

Hurtful but a fact. I'm not far from 70. Sometimes people forget that the guys that spent the time to develop and build stuff for our relics were in their 30's,40's and 50's 50 years ago!

dammit i thought we were all supposed to be getting younger. what's progress for then, anyhoo?
parts are easier to find now than in 1990, or 2005. knowledge, however, is subtle and hard to write down.

It's all popularity. Other manufacturers sold about as many of one model as AMC sold total for the model year.

Mom called the car "the beast" she had to drive it during a time period when the family was down a car. She hated left turns into traffic as she couldn't put the power down without imparting rubber to the road. So the trans worked well when it did work. The whole purpose for my purchase of the 727 was because I was under the erroneous assumption I couldn't get parts for the m12 trans. Between the needs of a machined crank, lokar kick down, trans rebuild, and driveline mod, I reviseted the bw parts issue here and you all came through for me. Thank you for the support. The wisdom shared here will be invaluable, one thing I've learned in particular is the m12 in my car had the factory shift kit (the performance is in line with the shift kit description) so if I end up with a non 71 valve body we'll need to match springs to get the correct action.
