    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?
