How do you adjust the bands on a 46re transmission?

How do you adjust the bands on a 46re transmission?

(1) Raise vehicle. (2) Remove transmission oil pan and drain fluid. (3) Loosen band adjusting screw locknut 5-6 turns. Be sure adjusting screw turns freely in lever.

What are bands in a transmission?

Transmission bands are steel bands that wrap around sections of the gear train and connect to the housing. As the band tightens around the drum, transmission fluid is squeezed out into grooves cut into the band’s surface. The band brings the drum to a stop and holds it there. This gap will cause a transmission to slip.

How do you adjust the bands on a 47re transmission?

The rear transmission band is located towards the rear, passenger side of the transmission at the tip of the armature that controls the band. Loosen the adjustment screw locknut with a 9/16″ socket and back off 3 to 5 turns. Tighten the adjustment screw by rotating it clockwise with a 1/4″ socket.

Can an automatic transmission be adjusted?

The technicians at All-Automatic Transmissions understand that problems with your vehicle’s transmission can often be resolved with adjustments or a minor repair. In fact, a simple adjustment can be done without even removing the transmission from the vehicle.

How do you adjust the transmission bands on a 48RE?

to the rear band adjusting screw (1).

1. Raise vehicle.
2. Remove transmission oil pan and drain fluid.
3. Loosen band adjusting screw locknut 5-6 turns.
4. Tighten adjusting screw to 8 N·m (72 in.
5. Back off adjusting screw 3 turns.
6. Hold adjusting screw in place and tighten locknut to.

Is the 48RE Transmission good?

The main weak spots, in general, of the 48RE are: line pressure, torque converter and the input shaft due to it’s locked 3-4 shift. Other than those, they’re a pretty good towing transmission.

How does a 48RE transmission work?

The 48RE transmission reads the engine load and current vehicle speed to determine whether it should trigger an upshift or a downshift. It has four shift schedules, or governor pressure curves, which are all controlled by electrical solenoids.

How do I know if my governor pressure solenoid is bad?

Common symptoms/transmission problems associated with a bad governor pressure sensor include, poor downshift timing, hanging in 3rd or 2nd gear on down shifts, delayed upshifts, hanging in 1st or 2nd gear on upshifts, 3rd gear limp mode.

How long can you drive with a bad solenoid?

The short answer is that, yes, you can usually drive a car with a bad shift solenoid. Granted, it might not shift past a particular gear, but you should be able to drive it for a short period of time without causing any serious damage.

Where are the shift solenoids located?

The shift solenoid is located inside the oil valve connected to the valve body. The shift solenoid controls gear engagement and gear shift. The engine control module or the transmission control module in the vehicle’s engine controls the shift solenoid electronically.

How much does it cost to replace shift solenoid?

Shift Solenoid Repair and Replacement Cost The overall cost to replace the shift solenoid in an automatic transmission ranges from $200 to $500 for a single solenoid. If the damage requires you to replace the entire solenoid pack the cost increases to between $250 and $700.

What happens if your shift solenoid goes bad?

A problem with one or more of the solenoids can cause a lack of pressure, resulting in hard, soft or delayed shifts. A failed shift solenoid can also cause transmission slippage, where your engine revs faster but the car stays at the same speed.

How hard is it to replace a transmission solenoid?

This job typically takes 2-4 hours to complete, and shop time is generally billed at $60 – $100 per hour. The average total cost to diagnose and replace one ranges between $150 and $400. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, expect to pay between $15 – $100 for a single transmission shift solenoid.
