Is it possible to adjust the bands on a beretta 4404t04 transmission?

Answer 1

Just to let you know I have been rebuilding transmissions for 20 years. There is no band adj. on this transmission. There are some people that remove the servo pistons and add length to the pin, however this is not a good idea. There are two bands in this transmission, one is for rev. and the other is for low. If you have trouble with it slipping on the 1-2 shift there is clutch pack for 2nd gear that is probably burnt. The same goes for the 2-3 shift and the 3-4 shift. Check the fluid if it has a burnt Oder and is not cherry red then you need to have it rebuilt. Also to let you and others know the number one killer of all types of transmissions is overheating. Followed by being run low on fluid. Remember, unlike an engine the transmission is a sealed unit it does not burn fluid.If it is low on fluid it is leaking some place(unless you have a modulator where it can have a ruptured diaphragm and the vacuum from the engine can suck out the fluid, which will cause you to have smoke coming out of the exhaust from the engine burning it} So if you have a leak get it checked out. Do not think that you can carry around Transmission Fluid and every time you feel it slip, or neut. out you can add some and it will be ok. The shop where I work we see 7 out of 10 cars with transmission fluid in their trunk. And for overheating install a transmission cooler.
