Help your automatic transmission hold its gears as intended with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Auto Trans Band, part number 767019. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1980-1981 Chevrolet Citation, 1980-1981 Buick Skylark and 1980-1981 Oldsmobile Omega; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Inside an automatic transmission, a band wraps around a drum. When the servo applies the band, it clamps that drum and holds it stationary so the transmission can engage the gear that depends on it. Over time the band's friction surface can wear or glaze, and it may no longer grip the drum firmly.
Signs a band may need replacing: slipping or flaring in a gear, delayed engagement, or a gear that fails to engage. Low fluid, a faulty servo, or other internal faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the transmission before replacing parts. If a worn band is the cause, Pioneer 767019 replaces it.
A transmission band is usually replaced during a transmission overhaul. Follow the vehicle service information for installation and any required band adjustment.

What are signs a transmission band may be worn?
Slipping or flaring in a gear, delayed engagement, or a gear that won't engage may be signs of a worn band. Low fluid or a faulty servo can cause the same symptoms.
Should I diagnose the transmission before replacing the band?
Yes. Check the fluid level and condition and have the transmission inspected, because several internal faults cause similar shifting problems. Replace the band if it is confirmed worn.
Is replacing a transmission band a simple job?
Band replacement usually requires removing or disassembling the transmission, so it is typically done during an overhaul. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure and any required adjustment.
