I know you cant believe everything on the 'net but he explained it, it did make good sense. Maybe I can take a pic of the writing & post it, if not, John is 1&1/2 turns good on both of em? EDIT I dont have the skills to post a link to it
That’s an old school way of adjusting the front band, and it does work for why it’s done.
The idea is that you stop the driveshaft with the band and the back off until the band lets it turn again.
This gives the closest tolerance of the band adjustment.
It can help solve shift flares and makes the shift as quick as possible.
Problem is, it can also cause bind up on the shift if misused.
