trans problem

does not engage imediatly you must press pedal very hard before it willengage same on brake reverse and low when engaged it is totally you cant brake slowly I have replaced bands to no avail Can anyone help????

If the bands are new (you said you replaced them) you might have burnt oil glaze on the trans. drums. If you pull the hogshead and loosen a band (or if you're lucky and have the newer style, loosen and unhook one end) and look at the drums - you can see if you have burnt oil glaze on them as they should be shiny.



There is another answer, one I remember from one of my dad's cars. He had a 15 roadster that had "automatic trans" band linings, which have a horrible tendancy to "grab" Amazing how far a pair of 30x3 1/2 "non skids" *can* skid!), anyway, they were replaced with a set of "non" A/T band linings, and noticed the "grab" went away, but it took amore pressure to hold low or reverse - it *did* solve the skidding breaks tho.



Hope this helps,

Make sure they are adjusted right. I had to readjust mine several times before I was happy. That is with Kevlar bands.
