Not an A body but, band adjustment on a 96 Dakota?

fishy68,
Thanks for that info on the "double wrapped" rear band. First I heard of that. I wondered why 5.25 turns since I recalled backing off 2.5 turns on other torqueflites. Makes perfect sense. Too bad I already bolted the pan back, so can't look at the band now.

I knew the question was a 96 Dakota, but I thought similar to traditional Torqueflites. If a 3 speed hydraulic, I bet it is very similar. What is the model number of the tranny? I thought Mopar went to solenoid controlled shifting in the 4 speed "electronic" transmissions, at least judging from the 80's - 00's Mopars I have owned.

Your welcome Bill. Toolman's is the 42RE which is the equivalent of a 904/998/999 with OD. 95 on back they were hydraulic shifted just like a torqueflite with the exception of the OD unit which was computer controlled. In 96 they went to complete electronic shift. Pre 96's are known as 42RH and 96 on is 42RE. In addition to that all are called an A500. Not sure why Ma Mopar had 2 designations to each trans. but you know Ma, LOL...
