this is how to adjust the front band(kickdown) and rear band this the procedrure directly out of my Dodge service manual:FRONT BAND
The front (kickdown)band adjusting screw is located on the left side of the tranny case abovr the manual valve and throttle valve levers.
1)raise vehicle,2)loosen band adjusting screw locknut then back off 3-5 turns.Be sure adjusting screw turns freely in case.Apply lubricant to screw threads if necessary.,3)Tighten band adjusting screw to 72 in.lbs. torque with inch pound torque wrench a 3-in. exstension and an appropriate torx socket.,4)back off front band adjusting screw 2-7/8 turns,5)Hold adjuster screw in position and tighten locknut to 30 ft. lbs. torque,6)lower vehicle.
REAR BAND:you will need a square head socket for this(SEARS has them)
the tranny pan must be removed for access to the rear band adjusting screw.
1)raise vehicle,2)remove tranny pan,3)loosen adjusting band screw locknut 5-6 turns be sure adjusting screw turns freely in lever,4)tighten adjusting screw to 72 in. lbs. torque,5)back off adjusting screw 2 turns,6)hold adjusting screw in place and tighten locknut to 25 ft. lbs. torque,7)position new gasket on tranny pan(or reusable gasket if you have one) install pan to tranny and tighten bolts to 13 ft. lbs. torque,8)lower vehicle and fill tranny with ATF+4
