Band Adjustment for 1963 RotoHydramatic (Slim Jim Transmission)
My Olds trans just started slipping...I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a band adjustment on my 1963 Slim Jim Trans...and how to do it?

I would appreciate it tremendously...

No band adjustments on a Roto. Make sure it has correct fluid level- they're sensitive to it.

Past that, sounds like worn clutches or an internal hydraulic problem.

Roto band is for LO range only, not used in DR or S ranges
