If the trans was assemble correctly and the band adjustment was not
tampered with, then there is no reason or benefit to adjusting it. There
is more than enough piston travel to accommodate wear.

Subject: Adjusting 2nd Gear band in Auto Trans


Has anyone any advice on adjusting the band in an '86 auto trans?






The Bentley manual isn't all that helpful for an operating transmission.
.
(I think it assumes a new installation).  . . . especially when the
adjuster
screw is usually fixed in with Lock-tight.  Then it is almost impossible
to
do anything with the light tensions recommended.






What do others do?






Thanks






Dave
