I pulled the pan and adjusted the bands. Transmission looked nice and clean. I did find the Transgo stage3 kit that I installed calls for a 2 1/2 turn out on the rear band, not the 4 the factory called for. And the front is 2 turns out. Both settings were close. I reassembled and test drove while on the stands and it still does it a little. If I allow the rpm to get to 2500 or more you don't notice it at all. Also while putting some load on it with the brakes it does not do it. I will probably call Transgo and just confirm what I have going on. But it may be a normal thing with the "tighter" adjustment they call for.

Greg, I'm sorry I misread your remarks before that Ruster did the same thing for 10 years. So it may just be their "overlap" event like you said.

No problem.

Good to confirm things on your end.

That could be a transgo thing with that 1-2 overlap.
I don't think so. I have been running this same transmission for over 5 years and have made no changes to it. It never did this before.
IIRC, there was a TSB & a performance bulletin, both regarding the Low/Reverse piston cocking & binding as it showed service wear. The fix was to machine the inner seal land(large end) undersize a certain amount & round the sharp edges slightly on both. There were also new apply pistons manufactured with the fixes/features new.
I didn't put a shift kit in the K6, but did weld the hole up in the transfer plate to block the L/R Band from applying in manual low, I was tired of burning the kickdown band out of the 904's. I neglected however(duh), to yank the check ball in the valve body when I re-assembled it, ...You guessed it, as soon as it shifted into 2nd it locked the back wheels in the gravel driveway, as I had backed up to turn around first.
Yeah, it's like pulling the park brake.

Check out Fairbanks/Superior rear servos I've put them in the past few transactions I have been inside of. MAde to prevent cocking in the bore and also cracking. These are billet, not cast aluminum. I don't remember the 904 version but I know the 727/518/46RH/RE version has dual seal rings.
Also check out sonnax as they have a bunch of upgrades for these transmissions
