[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 1021519, member: 66039"] Dean Ford lists a procedure for adjusting the bands ONLY on trans assembly, It is not a maintenance adjustment. Even in their troubleshooting procedures they NEVER list adjusting the bands. If you feel the need to really adjust the bands while you have no symptoms then go for it. Fords position on this is that the bands never need to be adjusted and I agree with them. More often than not if the bands are slipping there is a fluid or a fluid pressure issue. Back in the old days we used to adjust trans bands all the time but that was before we could constantly change the fluid pressures inside of the trans so the band adjustment was necessary. I don't really think that you are going to mess something up by adjusting the bands but I also don't think you are going to gain anything either. IF by some strange chance something does go south though at least fess up to it and let everyone here know. [/QUOTE]
