What are the reason to adjust the bands on a 47RE while replacing oil and filter ?

And what are the symptoms if it hasn't been done ?

Thanks

 

gets the slop out of the shift. u might as well since u have to drop the pan to adjust the rear band. I promise u will see a difference in the shift quaility.

 

Digging up this thread...... What sort of knowledge/tools are necessary for a band adjustment, What would it cost to have someone do this and change fluid and filter? Close guestimate....

 

The only special tool you need would be an inch pound torque wrench.
Not sure how much one would pay to have it done, I've always done it myself. It only takes like 5 min. to do and would probably be part of a standard transmission service at a good garage.

Beware the torque is 72 INCH per POUND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't pay attention and almost wrecked my tranny.
