So is there any way to adjust the bands now without losing all the new fluid in there?
Yes there is, just capture the fluid in to a clean container and pour it back in.
There is two band adjustments, one external to the pan, and one that requires pan removal (but not valve body removal). Adjustment requires an in/lb wrench, and a person that can read instructions very well. Many forget to back the bolts out, go for a drive and the trans locks up because of the incorrect procedure. Adjusting the bands does not cause issues, it prevents them. It only causes problems if not done correctly.
I found this online, which allegedly is from the 48RE transmission service manual. I have a question regarding your statement above: You state, "... Many forget to back the bolts out, go for a drive and the trans locks up because of incorrect procedure..." This isn't mentioned in the page from the service manual below. Is this on a different page of the manual?
Thank to all who responded here. Really appreciated! Lots of helpful information.
