  5. White line on band apply tool should be within gauge slot if pin length is correct. If White line is not within gauge slot, inspect 2-4 band and reverse input drum for wear and damage during disassembly.
  6. Servo pin length must be checked during reassembly. Servo pin is preset and must not be readjusted. Different length servo pins are available. See «SERVO PIN SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-156199-S32141446292003071000000) table. Select proper length servo pin. Reassemble 2-4 servo. Install servo cover and "O" ring.
