    Default Tranny bands

    i just took my car to trany place an i was told my transmision bands need tightening. Should i pay for it to be done or is it a DIY.

    were bouts are the bands? does the tranny need to come out a bit?

    my Gregory's doesnt anything about tightening bands... but if the tranny oil is brown to very brown colour and isnt red... thats a sure sign of the bands slipping...

    They are nice to people when you buy seconds hand aren't they.

    I was told the early tranny's in Vn VP you can't adjust them,
    And that quote is bad mate i done a new one for $1100 12 months warranty.
