How many turns you back off the adjustment
screw depends on what ratio the kickdown lever is, inside the trans. It
needs to be tight enough to keep from slipping on upshifts but still loose
enough to let go before the high clutch applies. What feels like a firm shift
into direct is often times a situation where the high-gear clutch is applying
before the kickdown band is released, aka an "overlap" condition, a situation
detrimental to the life of the trans. It's better to have the kickdown band
adjusted so that you feel the trans sort of slide into top gear, under full
throttle conditions. It's best to follow follow the book specs as far as
adjustment is concerned, of course if someone has been in there before changing
parts, you could be on your own.

ADJUSTMENTS
HAPPY TURKEY DAY to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone ever expirimented with ,or heard of anyone attempting to
adjust tight,,or loose,, the kickdown band on the drivers side of the
trans.
I am just wondering how 'critical' an adjustment it is and exactly what
happens to the shift points or quality of the shift if you are a turn one way
or the other
Thanks to all
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
