Transmission help

Good advice, my friend works in a machine shop and builds motors for a living and has rebuilt several transmissions, this was his first 727, so he was not familar with the band adjustments and the chilton manual we had did not say anything about backing the adjuster screws out 2 turns. I have read so many articles on the different ways to adjust bands, inluding some so vague as recommending to be able to just turn the drive shaft. My seems to be very sensititve a little to tight and it felt like the brakes were applied in 3rd gear, little too loose and it slipped all the way through 2nd gear. So after 3 trial and error attempts and finally figuring it out I ended up with the adjuster screw to 72" pounds and backing it 1 3/4 turns it now shifts perfectly into second and into 3rd no overlap between gears and nice firm shifts.
