Band: Adjustments

If engine speed increases abruptly on 2-3 shift, or if there is a delay of more than 1 second on a 3-2 kickdown, excessive clearance between reverse clutch drum and band may exist, adjusting screw should be rotated clockwise. If there is a braking action on 2-3 shift, excessive small brake band clearance may exist and adjusting screw should be rotated counterclockwise. Adjust brake band as follows:
1. Using socket tool No. 398603610, to hold adjusting screw in place, loosen locknut.
2. Loosen or tighten adjusting screw within 3/4 turn, to properly adjust band, then tighten torque to 19-21 ft. lbs.
If slipping occurs on a 2-3 shift, excessive small brake band clearance may exist. If transmission shifts directly from 1st to 3rd, excessive large brake band clearance may exist. Adjust brake band as follows.
1. Using socket 398603610, to hold adjusting screw in place, loosen locknut.
2. Torque adjusting screw to 6.5 ft. lbs., then back off adjusting screw 2 turns. Torque locknut to 19-21 ft. lbs.
