would I adjust the front band "less turns out" from the 72 in/lb? I knew a guy at the dealer that never did the "X" turns out from 72... just watched the clearance but I forgot how much.
The number of turns out depends on the lever ratio and type of front servo. To keep the servo piston travel about the same with the different lever ratios, a lower ratio like 2.5 needs more turns out than a 3.8 or 4.2. Some people just set the plunger gap at 5/16" or 3/8" which is OK on the bench but the turns out method is more practical in the car.
The later "controlled load" servo plunger doesn't fully retract after the 2-3 upshift, so the band adjustment needs to be looser yet.
