Abstract:

An automatic transmission is adjusted by changing the longitudinal position of a pin relative to a hydraulically-actuated piston, the pin being threaded into the piston. A holding socket engages the piston and prevents it from rotating while the pin is being adjusted. The holding socket engages a support guide which is contained within the transmission casing. The combination of the holding socket and the support guide replaces a spanner wrench, used in the prior art, and eliminates the need to disassemble the transmission to perform the adjustment, and also provides a more convenient way of making the adjustment in the cramped environment of an automatic transmission. The process therefore substantially reduces the time required to adjust an automatic transmission, and also reduces the likelihood of harm to the transmission, or injury to the technician, during the adjustment process.
