Auto Trans - Band Adjustment

Posted

Hey guysThinking of doing a band adjustment - recommended by a smart man/friend on another site.Don't know much about it - seems not too hard - just be careful with torque.Anyone with extra input here ? Personal experience ??I seem to be slipping a little in my transmission - so was going to try this first , get a diagnostic from an auto shop in STL 2nd , then some trans additive (seafoam transtune) 3rd and if all else fails looks like I am up for a new trans :cry:Any advice hugely appreciated.ISX - might even ping you one day and if I can get to you see if you can give me you 2 cents worth after you take her for a drive - even throw in a beer or a pitcher of ice cool lemonade !!!! lmaoTrans Temp never gets too high, fluid looks and smells fine - I do have a leak somewhere (I think its near the Transfer Case tho) ........

Hey

Anyone1 got any local tranny guys they recommend - closer to STL , MO the better

Having problems working out who to use

Goerand called 5 times - no call back

DTT - mixed info (hit and miss)

performance innovations - I'm leaning here - but 50/50

I have a guy at www.ShiftRiteTransmissions.com who will do rebuild and install for around $2k - but he's only charging $300 for convertor and saying its stall speed is 2100 same as OEM - so I think I want 1800 - makes me nervous

Also guys at http://www.1stoptrans.net/ have an ok price - but know nothing about them ..................

Really looking to keep this under $3k - thats why I was going to the VB + shift kit - but worried if my tranny does go it will take my TC with it.

ok

never mind

made a decision - yeah - no $#!!*

Spoke with Frank from RevMaxx - nice guy.

Bought a 3x disk TC with valve body and upgraded solenoids and shift kit.

He thinks from what I described that's the issue. And he thinks the burnt fluid is due to the TC failing - not due to excessive heat (something to do with the nut and clutch on the TC) ........ but the best part - he said they are happy to ship the TC +VB ........ and should fix issue. IF not - they can ship the rebuilt tranny - and all up it only costs me around $150 extra (which is basically the shipping charges ) them having to ship 2 x seperately.

What I like about it is I get to see if the TC+VB fixes the issue. And even if I decide to replace the tranny 1 yr later - they will work with me on it :) And all up its just a few $$hundred plus dropping the tranny twice if it gets that bad !!!

I will do a full writeup on this for everyone :) And me.

thx:thumbup2:
