how do i do it, i tryed searching but couldnt find what i was looking for. Where is the adjustment on the trans.

 

This would be a great "how-to" if someone who knew would write it up.... with pics of course.....( I'd like to know this too)

 

It is covered in the service manuals.
Front band is 2nd gear. It is externally adjusted.
rear band it reverse and MANUAL 1st. It is internally adjusted.
Each vehicle type has its own specs.
Rear band----- usually is set to 3 turns loose.
Front band-----usually is set to 2 turns loose.
-
Ok loosen the jam nut, tighten the center stud to 72 inch pounds, now, if you know the spec for that band, turn the center stud CCW or out the required number of turns, and hold it while snugging the jam nut.
2nd gear/front band.
Some think it is an adjustment to get a shift 'feel'. Set it to spec and forget it.
It does have this spec to balance the 2-3 shift. If it feels different when you go for a ride, It is my opinion the fresh fluid has more effect on the shift!!!!
( during the shift to 3rd the front band must release as the front clutches apply) this is an overlap of two parts of the trans , like a trans brake!!!!
Auto trans 101 is over!!!

 

yea but where is it on the out side of the trans

 

know one knows there it is on the trans

 

The second gear band adjustment is located in front of the shift linkage about 4". It is very close to where the front cooler line comes out.

 

thanks what size socket do i need to adjust it
