Nice idea, but the design of the 700R-4 doesn't allow any such. Your best hope is clean fluid and fresh filter, then keep your foot out of the go-pedal.

There is no external band adjustment on a 700R4. Pressure on the band is supplied by the servo piston. The adjustment is changing the length of the shaft on the servo piston.
