Transmission has good stuff in it and has never given me any problems. This Friday I am going to change the filter and pan gasket and then flush the trans/converter. I was wanting to adjust the bands while I had the pan off and it has been so long since I have done this, I can't remember how I did it. I know I used to keep them adjusted on my other performance Mopars and I never used an Inch/Pounds torque wrench. I just did it by feel. Anyone here do this recently and remember how to do it by feel alone? Thanks in advance....

Thanks for all the help...

When I got under the car and started looking around, it all came back to me. Simple actually....

sorry to tell you this...but by feel you can be way off the right Setting ! I would always use a torque wrench to adjust the bands...
The difference between "feel" and the real torque is around 1-1.5 turns at the screw !!!That�s a lot. I checked it out by my self some weeks ago.. 1st by feel..and then I made the "test"...with the torque wrench...

Greetings Juergen
