Playing with the band (adjustment)

[Philippe COURANT <accf_clb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Beware of band adjustements ! On old torqueflite (don't know for
'82) the rear - reverse band is also used in 3rd gear so you
could disturb the good functionnement of trans. If you loosen the
band you'll  have slippage or no engage of reverse and 3rd  . If
adjustement is too tight you'll ruin the band.
To adjust the bands you must follow the method of the FSM: loosen
the locknut, back off adj. screw,  tighten to specific torque and
back off a specific number of turns (see FSM)
