[QUOTE="4play, post: 1604492, member: 7223"] Adjusting TP would only affect when the T/C locks up and when the O/D shift takes place. Band adjustment mainly affects shift timing as in how long it takes to complete the actual shift. If Bands are loose you would more than likely have a flare-up on shifts, but the checks and adjusments are easy to do. Keep in mind the bands only affect manual low-1st gear, Rev, 2nd, not "D" 1st, 3rd or O/D. If you were having a slip towing in 3rd or O/D, I would assume its probably the Torque Convertor, but could be Direct clutches, or O/D clutches. If you manually locked out O/D on the shifter you will get T/C lock up in 3rd, so it could still be the T/C slipping in 3rd. Pressure checks could tell you something, and I would bet if the trans was built not too long ago, they either didnt know what they were dealing with, or didnt address much for upgrades. Simple valve body mods and a good Torque Convertor is probably all you need. [/QUOTE]
