Internal Band Adjustment

1.
Drain the fluid from the trans-

mission. If the same fluid is to be

used again in the transmission after

the band adjustment, filter the fluid

through a 100-mesh screen as it drains

from the transmission. Re-use the

fluid only if it is in good condition.

Remove and thoroughly clean

the pan and filter. Discard the pan

gasket.

Loosen the rear servo adjusting

screw lock nut.

4.
Pull the adjusting screw end of

the actuating lever away from the

servo body, and insert the spacer tool

shown in Fig. 14 between the servo

accumulator piston and the adjusting

screw.
Be
sure
the
flat
surfaces
of the

tool
are
positioned
squarely
between

the
