Only slips in 2nd - and will slip throughout 2nd at any rpm if I stomp on it. It felt like it got progressively worse as the tranny got warmer.

I haven't heard of only 2nd gear going?

Brake band adjustment only controls shifts, right? So that wouldn't help me if it slips while in gear (tranny in 2, manual mode)

I'm puzzled.
Hi Matt, the brake band has to hold for 2nd and top. As it wears it will slip in 2nd at first, due to the higher load, If it keeps sliping it will slip in top gear also.

Do the band adjustment, nip the adjuster up, then back it off three full turns, this sets the right clearence.
