Someone else has told me to tighten it to 100 inch pounds then back it off 2 3/4 turns.
Here is a photo of the log.
A 904 or 998 should work with the band set at 2 turns. More info would help, band apply ratio? How many high clutch frictions? 904 or 998? Pressure? Whose valve body? Is ther a restrictor in the clutch apply hole in the case (comes with some shift kits)? PM me, I'm sure I can help.
