727 Tranny question

[rebryant@domain.elided]

     Digesters,
     
     My transmission is slipping and I have some questions for you.
     
       I have checked the fluid and it is ok. I am going to change
     the filter and replace the fluid this weekend which will probably
     solve the problem but I wanted some info on adjusting the bands.
     
       I was following the posts about band adjustment awhile back and
     I read the procedure in my shop manual (factory manual) and there 
     were differences in the torque values that were being quoted. I'll
     post the value from my manual after I read it again tonight.
     
       My question is what will the adjustment do for the tranny? Will
     it help with the slipping problem or does it only effect the shift 
     points?
     
     Thanks,

        Still need to install my 2" body lift (had it for about 6 years)
     
     PS - I usually bug Joel Brodsky here at work with my Scout          
          questions. But I need to get out on the net more often.
     
     PSS - I need to buy a tranny shift cable, anyone have one? Also
           do I need the whole assembly or can the cable be replaced?
           It's broken at the threads, ie there are no threads left
           on the cable. GUS has it for $40. If anyone has a spare
           they can part with for less let me know. Otherwise I'll
           give our good friend Rod a call. I've always had good
           luck with GUS.
