T20 Band adjustment all messed up - need help!

[applejack]

well, i'll try here. 2 months after taking t20 apart and getting bands relined, i decide to put it back together today. jeesh, it all looks foreign, like i never saw in it before. so my question is, do the bands on the right side go around the drum clockwise, and the ones on the left side go counter clockwise? thats what it looks like in my manual, although i'm using the instructions on this site. the instructions in the t20 rebuild say that the rebuild is simple, but if anyone met me, they'd know what SIMPLE REALLY LOOKS LIKE!!

They will only go in one way......so relax!
You start with an eyelet anchored to the case with the pin and the other eyelet will align with the plunger hole. Then slide the sleeve over the pin and the second band for that half.
Make sense?

having a terrible time posting today, must be related to my inabilty to figure out how the bands went. got the bands in the right side, but my harbor freight 214 piece o-ring kit let me down, and on a saturday evening to boot. oh well, normal for me.

okay it's me again almost 2 years later t-20 still on bench. the right side is together and when i went to put the left side together only 1 band would line up?? laying all four RELINED BANDS on bench i have 3 bands that spiral clockwise from bottom to top and 1 band that spirals counter clockwise from bottom to top. did trans crafters send me one too many clockwise bands?

It would appear as though they did.

good job. as hydro mike said it is great to jump in there and tackle it. helps you understand how the trans works. any problems in the future you will have a good visual of what may be wrong. looking forward to hearing how it operates . johnboy va.
