I tried adjusting the bands on my 99 Ram 4x4. Well the problem is I didn't look really well at where the lock nut was. All I have is cheapo inch pound tourque wrench when I tried to get 72 in pounds it never would tighten up so I tried to set it to pre adjustment but there is hardly any thread left. I tried going both was till there was a lot of thread sticking out pretty sure this is loosening it. All of this was done by hand just a 9mm 1/4 inch on a extension. I started on the 2nd one and didn't do the first band cause I was scared I had screwed up. When I filled it with fluid it now clunks in gear and as you let off at speed it will slow the truck as if the brake is applied. It shifts smooth and clean accelerates good. Just the deceleration bothers me. At 40-70 it will coast when you let off and reapplied throttle is clean. Anyone know how I screwed up. How to fix?
Yep, you can replace JUST the band. Cut the old one, take it on, slip in the new one, hook it up. Adjust. Done. They run 20 to 30 bucks. WITTrans has 'em.

Still have to drop trans/open it up though, right?
