Link to tranny bands adjustment

Anyone have it? I just spent an hour searching and my eyes are bleeding. It used to be on Genos Garage but I dont see it there anymore. I havent had an auto in years so I need a refresher.

So it does....it was a list of search results from the 3rd Gen Engine and Drivetrain forum based on the input of "transmission band adjust". If you have not tried that, give it a go.

Marder, you posted in 2 sections. I responded with this in the 12 Valve section. Hope it helps

SoHappy posted this:
ADJUSTMENT - BANDS
FRONT BAND
The front (kickdown) band adjusting screw is
located on the left side of the transmission case
above the manual valve and throttle valve levers.
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Loosen band adjusting screw locknut (Fig. 74).
Then back locknut off 3-5 turns. Be sure adjusting
screw turns freely in case. Apply lubricant to screw
threads if necessary.
(3) Tighten band adjusting screw to 8 N·m (72 in.
lbs.) torque with Inch Pound Torque Wrench
C-3380-A, a 3-in. extension and an appropriate
Torx™ socket.
CAUTION: If Adapter C-3705 is needed to reach the
adjusting screw, tighten the screw to only 5 N·m
(47-50 in. lbs.) torque.
(4) Back off front band adjusting screw 1-3/4 turns.
(5) Hold adjuster screw in position and tighten
locknut to 41 N·m (30 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Lower vehicle.

The Rear Band is inside:

REAR BAND
The transmission oil pan must be removed for
access to the rear band adjusting screw.
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Remove transmission oil pan and drain fluid.
(3) Loosen band adjusting screw locknut 5-6 turns.
Be sure adjusting screw turns freely in lever.
(4) Tighten adjusting screw to 8 N·m (72 in. lbs.)
torque (Fig. 75).
(5) Back off adjusting screw 3 turns.
(6) Hold adjusting screw in place and tighten locknut
to 34 N·m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Position new gasket on oil pan and install pan
on transmission. Tighten pan bolts to 17 N·m (13 ft.
lbs.) torque.
(8) Lower vehicle and refill transmission with
Mopart ATF +4, Automatic Transmission fluid.

That is a 5/16 sqare bolt,, that means four sides by 5/16 every side and four (4) sides. Huh!

I made one by filing one from 8mm nut with a 6mm sqare file.

anyone can do that.

Dont need to be Chip Foose to do that.
