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?

The band is a lot thicker than that. I would say about .100".
The gear box maker would not have provided an adjuster if there was a problem with adjusting it.
Adjusting the band will prevent it from burning up.
