Intermediate Band and Servo






INSPECT
- Intermediate band for cracks or damage.
- Intermediate servo ease bore for pitting or sears or sharp edges.

NOTICE: If the intermediate band appears excessively worn or damaged and replacement is necessary, the new brake band should be soaked in Dexron (R) III automatic transmission fluid GM P/N 12341643, or equivalent, for two hours prior to installation. This causes the band material to permeate with fluid which will prevent band overheating on first time application.
