checker Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm reaching out to Studebaker, Jaguar, and other owners of the Borg Warner Detroit Gear 250 or 200 transmission for the automatic transmission DG band adjuster tool. This is a Kent-Moore J-4285 DG Band Adjusting Tool. I cannot find one to buy so I'm looking to loan one. It appears to be a simple tool so I'll return it the day after it arrives.

JimKB1MCV Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 You probably could increase your exposure quite a bit if you posted a inquiry on the Studebaker Drivers Club forum https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/ The tool in the picture looks simple enough to copy if you had the measurements. If you happen to locate the tool, please post the measurements. Good luck Jim KB1MCV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailheadBob Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Have you tried calling Bill Sawrey in Tennessee, he is the "used Kent-Moore tool guy" phone number 865-354-four 6 nine 5, I will also keep looking also, as I did see on e-bay a snap-on tool number ATC-52 that looked very similar but has been sold, Keep us posted.

checker Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Bob, I just tried the number you provided for Bill Sawrey. My caller ID shows it is the correct number for Bill but it has been disconnected. I will do some googling tomorrow. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NailheadBob Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Doug, He also has an E-bay store, "tool*guy" you could try contacting his store. If you search on E-bay "kent moore tools" items Bill has for sale, photo of tools are sitting on what looks like particle board, different than all others selling kent moore tools.

John Byrd Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hey Checker, if you have the shop manual, it also tells how to do it if you don't have that tool. It's a very simple instruction. If you need a pic of that paragraph, I can run out and get my manual and copy it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Jaguar Service Manual that I have read cover to cover (more or less) but did not see the procedure. I would gladly try the instructions you mention and would appreciate a pic of it. Thanks.

Thank you John, it's interesting that my Jaguar Transmission Service Manual has the exact same photos and band adjustment procedure with the tool yet omits the procedure without the tool. Snug then back off 4 turns. Sounds easy enough. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Byrd Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 You're welcome sir. One of the guys on the Stude forum told me to make sure the throttle to tranny adjustment was done 1st, but I haven't done that yet. I'll go ahead and send it too.
