adjusting auto transmission reverse bands?

On my 76 300D, the reverse is starting to slip. I was told that the bands can be adjusted to stop the slipping. Can someone explain how?

There is a square bolt on the right hand side towards the front of the transmission secured by a locknut (19MM I believe). Undo the locknut, turn the bolt, 1/4 turn clockwise and test. Don't tighten more than a quarter turn at a time or the trans will attempt to go into reverse between shifts. Not a fun thing.

The odds are if it isn't going into reverse the trans is worn out. Give it a try. You could get lucky.

Thanks Mike. I have a spare trans from a 280SLC so it's not all bad.

The wife's 190E will no longer move when in reverse and if on a slight upgrade.
Where is the nut that needs to be adjusted? I suppose the procedure is loosen lock nut and then turn square bolt 1/4 turn at a time and then test. If so where is the reverse bolt located?
