Band adjustment?



While I'm replacing the tranny fluid in my 63 Polara 500 (383), I'm
going to try adjusting the bands, which I haven't done before.  Should
I follow the Service Manual and torque them to 72 inch lbs, then back
off 2 turns, or is there a better way?  I've seen techniques where you
turn the drive shaft, and also Don's talked about "pulling the leaver
down 1/4 inch".  I gather using the factory method can result in some
overlap in 2nd and 3rd?

As always, thanks.  Sorry for always asking basic question; but I'm
learning and trying.
