NOTE: Procedures are the same for O/D and intermediate band adjustments.

CAUTION: Do not allow adjustment screw to back out. Band strut could fall in transmission assembly.

CAUTION: Throw the locknuts away. The locknuts are not reusable for assembly.

Remove the overdrive and intermediate band locknuts and back off the band adjusting screws.

CAUTION: Install, but do not tighten, a new locknut on the band adjusting stop. Apply petroleum jelly to the locknut seal.

CAUTION: Servos must be installed prior to band adjustment.

Tighten the band adjusting stop using Band Adjustment Torque Wrench Set T71P-77370-A. The wrench will click at 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). Back off the band adjusting stop exactly two turns and hold that position. Tighten the locknut to 47-61 Nm (35-45 lb-ft) using a 19mm wrench.

There you have it.
