Assuming we're talking about a C4 tranny, a band adjustment MAY help.A filter change won't cure what ails your tranny.A fluid and filter change are PREVENTATIVE maintenence.Once a transmission starts slipping or sliding or bumping shifts, it's usually too late for any preventative measures.On the other hand,I've seen a filter change fix some funky problems at the shop I work at.I've also seen a fluid and filter change finish off a tranny in about 2 seconds,washed the clucthes off.If you go with the filter and fluid,look for excessive, i.e. more than a tablespoon full, of friction, or clutch material in the pan.Good luck, and let us know how it goes.Arnie.
