im sure somewhere in the archives I wrote about my trusty '89 sedan autobox endeavors, anywho....
somewhere around 260K+ miles I was starting to lose the top of second gear and unable to up into third. after numerous fluid and filter changes I attempted the almighty "band adjustment". I only needed to adjust the Front Band since my first and reverse where very strong.
Before turning the "adjustment screw" I did measure the space and found it to be way larger than spec. So I went for it! All was well....surprisingly!
the shift into second was a bit more pronounced and I was able to keep second gear past 3K rpms and get the up into third. So I was pleased with my "Old Faithful" yet again!
Sadly about 15K miles later, the slipping or loss of the top end of second returned, I figured the band was probably paper thin and all to do was baby it for a while (which ended up being about a year) till I sadly had to let him go to SAAB heaven.....(tears)
