Can someone please tell me how to adjust the bands in my 727. Im gonna be changing the oil and filter and figured might as well adjust them while i have the pan off. Any help is much apricated. Oh and btw pics could be a help if you got them. I kinda know where all the adjusters are but just wanna be sure.

 

put 1/4 in. between servo and lever on front and rear band. just pull down firmly on the lever on each band

 

Proper procedure for band adjustment is:

For the kickdown band:

loosen lock nut
tighten adjuster to 72 in lbs
back off adjuster approx. 2 1/4 turns
tighten lock nut

For the low-reverse band:

loosen lock nut
tighten adjuster to 72 in lbs
back off adjuster approx. 2 turns
tighten lock nut

 

proper procedure may be the best way to do things, but this old man knows that a lot of people working on their vehicles do not have torgue wrenches or the proper tools to do the job. 40 years experience on torgue-flites i have found that the book is just a starting point. find what works and if] possible k.i.s.s.

 

Exactly, cause it's pretty difficult to keep the adjustment at 2 1/4 turns out AND torque the lock nut back.
