Re: adjusting the band in my automatic

Selective pin choice and modification or washers or adjustable servo pins are required for the 700-R4. There's no external band adjustment.

The ATSG manual goes over use of the Kent-Moore tool to measure and a chart to determine correct length.

If you are actually in need of performing this operation and not just grasping at straws, don't be surprised if your servo distance of travel makes no sense according to the ATSG chart, despite the band operating just fine in use.

Re: adjusting the band in my automatic

A new aluminum autozone radiator is pretty reasonably priced.

Sometimes the trans. oil cooler in the radiator can be rusted and leak internally.

I just put a new third-gen Delco rad. in my car and the upper line fitting was leaking a little bit. Dust your lines with some kind of starch or talc and see if you can find the leak. g/luck.
