    Try dropping and cleaning the pan and magnet, replacing the filter, adjusting the bands with a torque wrench, and refilling with Dexron ATF. If this does not solve the problem, the ATX likely needs rebuilding.

    Thank you for your help. I have done all but adjust the band. You don't maybe have the toque settings?

    1961 Valiant automatic transmition
    Hi, The gearbox was rebuilt and radiator flushed but I don't get second and third gear when the car is set in drive. Seems like it keeps on kicking back to first gear. Does anybody have advice on getting second and third??
