jakewalter Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I am in need of some help and direction. I have an 86 4 wheel with a 2.8 3 speed automatic with several issues. The one that I’m currently working on is the transmission. Other than a leak that I can’t find, it seems to slip when I first start out in the morning and when I’m pulling a light load approx 2000 pounds it doesn’t want to stay in drive. It continually downshifts into second gear. I changed the fluid with Dextron and the filter. I also added a quart of Lucas. I have a Haynes manual and in there it talks about adjusting the bands however I don’t understand the procedure that they give. I also mentioned this to an old race car driver and he suggested running Type F fluid in it. I would really appreciate any help I could get very much, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 A band adjustment would help alot. I did it to the slightly larger version of this trans I had in my old Grand Wagoneer, the A999. Yes the procedure is a little confusing but it isnt hard to do and makes a big difference, do a search on youtube for a video of the procedure. That trans is as I said, similar to the A999 and the TF727. Below is some links to info and history. Hope this helps. https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.allpar.com/mopar/torqueflite.html&sa=U&ei=yd4RVOT-LvT57Abc3YHoBA&ved=0CAUQFjAA&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEQ7cJ6H31CnT75my-vaWt66KbXKg https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.allpar.com/mopar/transmissions/torqueflite-tom-hand.html&sa=U&ei=yd4RVOT-LvT57Abc3YHoBA&ved=0CAYQFjAB&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHbYp8lU9xltNOOvs5XrnHbu4lOew https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.allpar.com/mopar/four-speed-automatics.html&sa=U&ei=yd4RVOT-LvT57Abc3YHoBA&ved=0CAkQFjAE&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHmO6B_VJYg4Hoqm5t0LxbQbZXpJg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
