In a recent thread, http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/transmission-talk/281517-servo-question.html, Bison said “I always set them (the intermediate servo piston) by feel and a visual on how much the band will move sideways with a screwdriver with the assembly installed.” he definitely has more experience then I do, so I’m hoping he, or another expert, can elaborate on the technique.
I know the band will cause some resistance when the output shaft is turned clockwise, but how much? Is there an acceptable torque reading?
If I install the band and look at it from the bottom of the trans it appears to be in contact with the drum before the pin and servo is even installed. How much sideways movement should there be? I don’t want to glaze or burn the band the first time out. How does the band get lubricated anyway?
I assume the apply pin should contact the band at the base of the tab since there is what appears to be a small rounded socket area. My concern is that when I look through the hole in the case, which the band apply pin goes through, I see the top of the tab. How do I know if the pin is contacting the tab correctly? Any tricks for this?
I’m thinking of making a tool that I could insert from below and would force the band against the drum, and put the tab in the right position for the pin to contact.
