44re bands
So I have done quite a bit reading and keep coming up with mixed numbers for band adjustment...front to 72in and back off 1 7/8, 2 1/4 & 2 7/8 rear 72in and back off of 2,3 & 4.... with such a variance of different specs I'm unsure what to go with.
Going to do both bands as well as a filter and fluid change... ATF+4
Problems I'm having are leaving with cold trans will cause a slip into 3rd until warm then shifts perfectly. In overdrive will shudder(kinda) under light throttle at highway speeds.
Also does anyone have a size for torx needed...I gotta buy it and would hate to be into this project and not have tools I need to do this.
Thanks for any advice.

BAND ADJUSTMENTS
FRONT BAND ADJUSTMENT
The front (kickdown) band adjusting screw is
located on the left side of the transmission case
above the manual valve and throttle valve levers.
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Loosen band adjusting screw locknut (Fig. 250).
Then back locknut off 3-5 turns. Be sure adjusting
screw turns freely in case. Apply lubricant to screw
threads if necessary.
(3) Tighten band adjusting screw to 8 N·m (72 in.
lbs.) torque with Inch Pound Torque Wrench
C-3380-A, a 3-in. extension and 5/16 socket.
CAUTION: If Adapter C-3705 is needed to reach the
adjusting screw (Fig. 251), tighten the screw to only
5 N·m (47-50 in. lbs.) torque.
