    What is the correct band adjustments on a C5? I seem to have read somewhere the front band 10lb then back off 4 1/4 turns, and 10lb and back off 3 turns for the low reverse band.

    The C5 has different threads on the intermediate (front - second gear) adjuster. You have to back it out 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 turns becuase of the fine threads. In all other ways you can use the C4 specs.
