Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the transmission section. Check the sticky thread on the top of this section called the band adjustment chart.

Tighten the center bolt to 10 ftlbs and then back out three and a half turns. torque retaining nut to 30 ftlbs. If the transmission is behind anything other than a 4.0, back the bolt out two and a half turns. I don't know why there is a difference, but according to the ATSG, there is a difference.

A4LD:
All Intermediate bands are single wrap. Single wrap band = 2.0 turns back.

1990-1992 Overdrive bands are double wrap, except in mid 1992, which went back to the single wrap band. Double wrap band = 3.5 turns back.

4R44E/4R55E 5R44E/5R55E:
Single wrap bands.
Overdrive band = 2.0 turns back.
Intermediate band (1995-1998) = 2.5 turns back. All other years 2.0 turns back.

The procedure for adjusting the bands is as follows:
Loosen the nut on the adjusting stud while holding the stud in place. Set your torque wrench to 10 ft.-lbs. (120 in.-lbs.), and tighten the stud. When it reaches 10 ft.-lbs. refer to the above specifications to set the proper amount of turns back. Hold the stud in place, and lock the nut to 35-45 ft.-lbs.
