> Hey Dave, that’s a big garage and it’s full. Does your wife park on the street? 😜

That is the old house with the tiny garage… And yes the fun car stayed in the garage, all others parked in the driveway, I can park 4 cars in the back driveway easily…

The new basement 2 car garage (still a working progress uggg) has way more room, and I am already out of room in it, still have my compressor, parts washer, welder etc etc to bring over, I keep the fun car in it and what ever else is being worked on in the other side, it has a big enough turn around that I can park (not easy) 16+ cars (ask me how I know lol) not counting the driveway itself… The upstairs attached 2 car garage holds my truck and the wife’s car, well right now hers is outside and the infamous Cobalt is in there cause it still has straight water in it and I don’t want a cracked block, but her wonderful understanding is slowly going away… lol  
Current lower driveway

And lastly, prof the wife’s car does normally stay in the upstairs garage… 😆

I remember adjusting the 2nd gear band on the A727 Torueflite transmission using the external adjusting screw. I recall the reverse band adjustment was easily accessible after removing the pan.

When I see only metal benches like that and no wood, I know that’s a transmission man’s house 😀

Nice setup, biggest “issue” I see is there is still room to expand 😆

Nice garage setup. Better than this one.

That old Plymouth Volare brings back lots of memories. I started in the dealership the just as those began shipping. Warranty work kept us quite busy as new cars had lots of problems back in that era.

Sad part is I have very few duplicates of anything, mainly wrenches and sockets, which don’t take up much room…

Thanks, not done yet, having 7 double gang electrical outlets (yes that is 28 receptacles) installed with a 120 amp side box for it, then I can install all the 4’ LED strip lights…

BTW, I would have even more room if not for that stupid water heater and furnace all up in the way… 😂  
But it is now heated…

The transmission tear down table will probably go where the transmissions are stacked up on the right side wall right now, not shown in the pictures…

If you have two of each size wrench and two of each size socket, you don’t have duplicates. One for the bolt and one for the nut.

If it is through bolt, I always use a wrench and a socket, not 2 sockets, that can be unstable and cause one to slip under heavy torque, I only use 2 wrenches if I can not get a socket on one side…

I guess I’ll have to stand corrected. The last time I did a band adjustment on a torqueflite was a 69 Charger back in around 73. The guy in the next room in the barracks had one that another “friend” of his told him he needed a band adjustment and did one for him. The transmission no longer worked.

I did the bands by the book using a bicycle spoke torque wrench as it was the only one I had that would do 7 inch pounds. Later that day we went into town to gas up his Charger and my El Camino. On the way back to the base, we ran into a CHP speed trap. According to their radar, we were doing 130 mph. Oops. Good thing he was on base security and rode with most of them, they let us go.

We had to drop the pan because all the bands had gotten out of position.
