$20 on e-bay will buy a Dodge or Plymouth factory service manual for your car that covers transmission and engine overhauls. It includes excellent color coded hydraulic diagrams that explain how your transmission works and shifts. It has a good diagnostic (troubleshooting) guide. It also explains how to adjust the throttle (kickdown)linkage. It would go a long way towards answering your questions.
In it's day the A-727 was Chrysler's heavy duty automatic transmission, equivalent to GM's Turbo-Hydramatic 400 and Ford's C-6. They were practically made to be abused. The 727 was made in three levels: standard (3 front clutch plates), heavy duty for 4 barrel big blocks and 340's (4 front clutch plates) and extra heavy duty for hemi's and 440 6-packs (5 front clutch plates). Valve bodies changes for different shift points. A-518 is the 4 speed version of the A-727, but it was only made to fit small block engines as the big blocks were discontinued by then.
Those transmissions are not difficult to overhaul, much easier than an engine. The hardest part is getting it out of the car, they are very heavy and clumsy to handle. Like anything hydraulic, keep everything very clean. You might look through the service manual and decide if you can service it yourself, or at least get a better understanding of what's involved. Labor should cost more than the parts.
Years ago Mopar Performance sold a transmission overhaul kit for the A-727 kit #P-4529013. Similar kits should be available through most automotive parts stores.
Dodge Corronets and Super Bees shared bodies and power trains with Plymouth's Satellite, Road Runner and GTX. There is a Road Runner restoration guide that may also be of some help to you.
