Default tranny bands?

Hey, I was wondering if there was a special tool needed to fit over the the tranny adjuster bolts?A regular wrench would work but that won't allow me to torque the screws properly... Any ideas? its a1994dak with a46Rh

On my 90 adjusting the bands is done by tightening them all the way and backing of a certin # of turns, no torqueing is required. Maybe differant on a 94?

5/16 wrench for the adjusting screw and 3/4 wrench for the set nut.All are the same.I adjust by travel and not screw turns. 1/8 in lever travel by hand for the 2nd band(flex style band),and 1/4 lever travel for reverse band.Factory setting are always to loose.Once adjusted,tighten band nut with wrench(tight) while keeping screw stationary.

You may need special tool C-3705, made by SPX Miller.
Looks like it could be easily made by yourself.
