adjusting transmission bands
 

I need to know how to adjust the second gear band in my 1994 ford explorer which has an A4LD auto tranny!

10' lbs, back off 2 turns.

do i screw it all the way in, torque to 10' lbs, and then back out 2 turns

yes, that is correct.

well thanks you very much. Im going to do that first thing in the morning. I did adjust the band somewhat and the second gear is still slipping a little but if i screw it all the way in then out 2 turns that should stop that.

It must be torqued to 10'lbs, then backed off from there.

I went and did exactly what u said but now the second gear is not working at all, should i screw it out some more or screw it in?

Leave it well enough alone.
There is obviously a problem that needs to be corrected.

yeah i think i might. I cant seem to screw that stud/adjuster bolt in far enough to get any torque on it. I would assume this means the second gear band is gone and needs to be repaired?

usually once a trans starts slipping it needs a new band and maybe other parts as well.

it is probably a combination of things worn out.

sounds like new transmission time, sorry.

I was wondering if the servo could be doing this weird problem??

If you are unable to screw the adjuster in far enough to get the correct torque the servo is not the problem.
