Based on the crude adjustment procedure recommended by aapple I'd agree, don't adjust the bands, you are very likely to fry them. However if you follow the correct adjustment procedure listed below it should prolong the life of your transmission, your call.



Gee....I guess I should just quit my job of 30 years and do something else...eh?


Not saying that at all aapple, like you I worked as an auto technician for over 30 years, all Chrysler product by the way. I too can adjust bands without a torque wrench having developed the feel for the process over many years. However I would not expect someone who doesn't even know what a band adjustment is to make them using instructions as vague as "tighten snug with a short wrench", to me that is inviting disaster. I have no doubt you can do so with great success.
