[Chrysler300] Interesting Torqueflight info!

[Brandt Jimerson <brandt300g@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to all in 300sville!

I just got Melissa (my G), out of the tranny shop for the 3RD TIME because my 
tranny blew a few weeks ago and it's on a 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty so that 
parts cool (can't recall if I posted that)! ....And now I get her back and there 
is a little slippage (run away) on 3 to 2 kickdowns at over say, 50 - 55 mph. 
There was a slip or 'run away' only one time that I can recall during a 3 to 1 
kickdown ...'ouch'..right? Well maybe not! I think it's band adjustment. This is 
what I got from google that set me to a link and it is as follows: 
www.mopar1.us/band.html . Check it out!! It was just my gut feeling because even 
before I found the info, I felt that it was band slippage (but still can be 
wrong? Any suggestions?) The fact that my engine was rebuilt and it was a KILLER 
rebuild (remember how I explained that Melissa pinned me in my seat!?) suggests 
that the local tranny shop (whom has an excellent reputation in my opinion 
hopefully) ;-D , adjusted it to what they figured and IS correct according to 
what I think they did ...which is doing it by the book to factory specs. Now 
what I found suggests that the factory settings ( 'X number of turns, then Y 
turns in opposite direction or something like that), was to provide customers 
with a smoother shift. What this page suggests is that the adjustment is 
determined by 'until you can barely turn driveshaft with hand...etc..etc. It 
explains it all!! Well, Happy New Year everyone!!! I am writing this 1 hr and 23 
minutes into the new year!

Sincerely & 300ly, Brandt H J with a soon fine running G at last!!
