..Howdy all..newby here in posting..been lurking for some time..ran into a little delay working on my '94 CTD truck.. question is..I do most of my own service on everything I own. I'm new to a diesel engine, but not the automotive field..I'm adjusting my transmisison bands after I changed the filter ..I got the inner band adjusted just fine, and I'm working on the outside the case adjusting band/ adj screw..it sure is tight trying to get a torque wrench in there.[:@].I can't seem to find the right socket to adj the adjusting screw..it has a square head on it..Ive tried a 12 point socket, a torx head, & what ever else I could fine.....is this a SPECIAL order socket tool only?? any help would be greatful..like the forum , and thanks in advance...

 

Welcome to the site!
Yes, a special tool may be need. The special tool is C-3705.
Note: when using this adapter, only torque to 5 N*m (47-50 in. lbs)

Thanks DR86..I called the dodge dlr parts dept., & it seems like a 2 week waiting/shipping for that part..I may order it just to have on hand for normal maintenance use.. I called around and located a local snap on dlr, who had a 5/16 sq socket in stock, that would work. for those people that will be doing this..it is suggested to get these special tools ahead of time..lol here is a link for the snap on 5/16 sq you can order through the mail...$13.75 for the socket..it still is a tight fit with a torgue wrench..but I loosened the oil pan bolt to drop the steel oil line a little..
..Good luck & thanks...

Damn $13.75 for a Snap-On tool, thats reasonable considering who makes it lol.
