Re: FWIW - band adjustment

FWIW, and any comments - I asked a Subaru mechanic I use/used (before I got stupid and decided to do most of the stuff myself) about the band adjustment (mine occassionally revs @ low speed), and he said he was hesitant to do it given the thinness of the band itself, and wearing it out sooner as a result of the tightening on top of normal wear and tear.

He commented that the band is .0040 thick when new, which seems reasonably thick to me.

Has anyone noticed what kind of wear there is on the band when a trans has been rebuilt at 80-100K? Or had a premature fry of the band after adjusting?
That's a really good question. And how weird that, after weeks of not being on the network, I come back to see one of my 14-month-old threads revived.

I'll see everybody in another few days - my first day at my new job is Tuesday - woohoo!
