Band Adjustment "Backing Off" TRICKS!!!

someone stated that many of us have issues AFTER adjusting the bands. When my transmission got rebuilt about 2 months ago I specifically asked about adjuting bands when I service the trans and the response I got was don't do it unless something is wrong. I'm not saying they are right, all I'm saying is they are professionals and that was the advice I was given. Since then I have asked other mechanics that I trust and they all say the same thing? So maybe this was a habit that was formed at some point because of an issue that isn't needed anymore? I'm not sure what I'm going to do when it's time to service it!
I know it is at 100k maintenance schedule.

you can always use a wrench. dont have to use a socket. by using a wrench you will still be able to count the rotations an know when to stop.

I was given the same advice...I was told due to the design of the bands in our transmissions if they are at the point where the band is causing it not to shift right adjusting them wont help at that point...They are so thin and have such little clutch material on them its crazy they hold up as long as they do... the transmission guy said on these transmissions adjusting them is actually more likely to just cause problems and premature wear...

Changing solenoid and pressure sensor and upgrading with a Sonnax Sure Cure couldn't hurt either.
