C-4 band ?

Does anyone know what to torque the front band in a C-4 to?( The one closest to the converter) One guy told me to snug it up with a small wrench then back it off 1 turn. Is this right?

Yes thats it. I usually go 50 inlbs which is pretty snug,back 1-1/8 turns.
Factory specs go 10ftlbs and back more. 10 just feels way over tight and the end results are the same.

I adjusted it to 10lbs and then backed it off 1.5 turns. Should it be less than finger tight? I can tighen it up about 1/2 turn with my fingers. It seems real loose to me is this right? The first time I tried it it did not have first gear. I then adjusted it again and it seems fine now.

Factory spec is 10 ftlb's or 120 inlb's and back it out 1 3/4 turns , if you tighten it up to much it will have the band dragging on the drum and smoke it fast

Is the threads course or fine???? Some consider the later C-5 case a C-4 so the adjustment is not the same..

10 foot lbs then back off 1 3/4 C-4
10 Foot lbs and back off 4 1/4 C-5 case (Fine Thread)
