Exclamation Idiot here: Ft/lbs instead of in/lbs adjusting bands

I know, I'm an idiot, I'll get it out there right now. i was just so excited to go out and adjust my tranny bands that I pulled out my torque wrench and dialed in "72" and started tightening the adjustment screw until I thought it was getting "too hard". So I looked at the instructions again and realized I was doing ft/lbs instead of in/lbs.

Duh!

Question is, do you think I did any damage? Can I recover from this? Just back it out and then tighten to 72 IN/lbs???

Damn, stupid, stupid, stupid!

Wow,... works great! New truck after adjusting! Easy as can be (if you remember to use in/lbs rather than ft/lbs! ;^)
