They are not all Torx. But you might find that out when you go to adjust them today.

 

He asked what a "Torque head" was and I just tried clarify it for him...
Thanks to incorrect directions I never got that far...the "1/4" square head bolt for the rear band adjustment I read about is actually a 5/16 square head it seems and I didnt have the right socket to do the job today...

 

Do not confuse ft/lbs with in/lbs or you'll be in for a bad day.

 

I used a 5/16 open end and a 5/16 allen 3/8 drive to connect to torque wrench. And then adjusted screw according to the manual when using the special wrench.

 

No man, torque the head to 72 INCH pounds, back it off the required amount of turns then hold it right where it is while you torque the locknut to 30 FOOT pounds

 

I will give that a shot thanks.... is there supposed to be any play behind the screw? mine had play and I could rock the arm a bit and I just removed the loose play yesterday and now its really misbehaving by clunking into drive or reverse from park I drove it like 50 ft and decided to park it since it didnt seem to move well...
I only ask because even after the 2 7?8 turns back ward from 70lbs pressure I wouldnt thing it would be loose?

 

wow glad I saw this before reattempting this today..

 

Yes, the arm will be loose. And that's where I remember MonteC saying to back it off 2 turns. Actually, I think it was in a thread by AIM.

 

It calls for an 8mm 4 point sockets for rear band. I'm stuck. I have no 4 point and I live in middle of nowhere with closest auto parts is napa... help

 

You don't need a 4 point socket. To adjust the front band you will need a 3/4 or 19 mm socket and either a torque socket or 5/16 or 8 mm socket. Adjust the band to where you have 1/2 inch of free play and tighten the 3/4 nut and check you free play. The rear band may have a 18mm socket or 19mm / 3/4. Adjust the rear band the same way. You don't need a torque wrench to perform the adjustments. I'm a retired transmission tech with 30 year with the product.
