Your bands do occasionally need adjusting... the front band is adjustable on
the outside of the tranny, and rear band is inside.... (have to drop the
pan, and there ya are)
I dont have my FSM with me for the specs on each one... but yes, they are
adjustable... and wouldnt hurt to check them out if they are in there....
:)
Trust me... I'm on my 5th rebuild I think (then again, look at HP #s on my
44RE as well)

while I was getting a filter and gasket for my planned tranny fluid changing
adventure.

> He told me that adjusting the bands was not necessary on late model
transmissions (mines a '98 with the 44RE auto-tranny). This is a bit of
sore point with me as I had already bought the super secret "special tool"
required to adjust the front or rear bands (can't remember which).
