so my new tranny does has 30,000-35,000 miles on it now since being rebuilt
i'm gonna put a new filter in it tomorrow but while i have the pan off should i adjust the bands or is there anything else i should look at?

my tranny shifts fine and doesn't act werid

just looking for some advice from my dodge brothers out there

 

YES.
They are SUPPOSED to be serviced every 30k. Service including, fluid, filter, band adjustment. When I had mine serviced it made world of difference. Yours is only 35k old, so yours shouldn't be bad, but still, do it anyway.

 

If it aint broke, don't fix it. If it's shifting fine and working fine leave it.

 

well you keep stuff in good working order by maintaining it... i don't want to pay for another 2800 dollar transmission build... how do you adjust the bands

 

Got the FSM?
It's in there.
The rear band adjustment is in the pan, front band adjustment is on the trans case.

 

Interesting my truck has 150k on it , wonder if I took it too the dealer it would make much diffrence ?

 

Depends. You could open it up and service it and have no problems again for 30k miles. You could open it up and service it and have problems til you replace it.

 

Hopefully your local dealer is better then mine. I asked them about a band adjustment, and was told it wasn't necessary. The service manager said they hadn't done a band adjustment in over ten years. I told him I had read in the service manual that it is a recommended service every 30,000, and was told these newer transmissions didn't need it.

Goes against everything I have read on here and in the manual. I think I will find a different dealer if I need anything major (or do it myself if able).

 

That or a trusted tranny repair shop.

 

Bands are suppose to be adjusted every 100k.
