(quoted from post at 16:31:22 02/14/18) Ok . I've still not got it figured out. Now when I shift down to 8 from 9 it seems like it's trying to go but something is tight ?? It does that for 5 6 7 gears as well .
The common element that would make 5,6,7 & 8 "seem tight" is band 3. I'd suggest you don't have it adjusted quite correctly. What you're saying makes it sound tight, or not backing off far enough. My guess is that as much as you've played with band adjustment, you just need to get that correct.
Band 3 on the overrunning clutch (red or in most cases 312259) transmission is engine running 800 RPM, transmission at normal operating temperature, traction disconnect disengaged, wheels blocked, transmission in 5th gear, torque 5 to 10 foot pounds, back off 3/4 of a turn. Make sure you hold the band adjustment screw exactly there while you re-torque the lock nut.
While you're at it, if you haven't already done so, check the hydraulic pressure at band 3. If it's not up to snuff, that may be causing part of your problem as well, but certainly would not result in the transmission going to neutral in park.
