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.

Thanks for trying but that link just says "sorry no matches" when I click it.

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

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.

lbs.) torque with Inch Pound Torque Wrench

I can only imagine what would come up if you did a google search on "tranny bands"

marder

Whoa!! Dont have to drop the pan to do the front band? Seems a bit odd. Picture is worth a thousand words.

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.
