There isn't any compensation for worn B2 band & sounds like yours is worn.

Either have some trans shop remove the B2 piston & measure the clearance on the B2 band & adjust by installing a longer compensation "pin".

Hi MB Doc,

Thanks very much for the information.

Would it be advisable to just fix the worn component, or would shops recommend a "rebuild" (whatever that means)? I just want to know what to expect from the transmission shop.
