Automatic transmission adjustment

check fluid level
have a pressure test done on the transmission pump
run the fault codes to check for problem servo/ solenoids

band adjustment is covered in the workshop manual available from any parts shop or technical book store

Not until you have done all the necessary checks. Check that the oil is bright cherry red and not tan. Have a pressure test done on the transmission to check for internal faults. Have the fault codes read to check for transmission faults (TCM ) check oil level. Remove the pan and clean out the filter./ If there is band and clutch pack linings in the filter then you may have to have the box overhauled.. If not adjust the bands and clutch packs . After all the checks are done then and only then should you consider a replacement transmission and only from accredited transmission shops

Bands are adjusted when the trans is built or rebuilt

They will not wear enough over the life of the trans
to need readjusting

No adjusting will solve a slipping problem, only fix
is a complete rebuild

Try changing the automatic transmission fluid and the transmission filter. There are also bands on the transmission that can be adjusted. You will need to buy the service manual at your local auto parts store to get the exact specifications for adjusting the bands.

There are now bands in a modern automatic transmission, there are clutch packs and these are eleectrohydraulically controlled. If it is slipping it will either be the converter or the clutch but either way it require a transmission specialist to repair... Sorry!
