there is a special tool needed for the rear adjustment. might want to find an older transmission shop/man and let them do it. if you still want i can post the instructions for you.

ok here we go! drain and remove pan. loosen front servo adjusting screw locknut. pull back on actuating rod and insert a 1/4 inch spacer between adjusting screw and servo piston stem. tighten adjusting screw to 10 INCH lbs. remove spacer and tighten an additional 3/4 turn, hold adjusting screw stationary and tighten locknut securely. re-install pan and fill. hope this helps.

Gary, what is the transmission doing that makes you think it needs to be adjusted?
