Band adjustment is on a automatic transmission. There is no adjustment for manuals. It adjusts the brake bands inside the 4eat which the transmission uses to slow down and stop different internal moving parts (planetary gears, sun gear, ring gear). This is what the transmission uses to have multiple drive ratios (gears, or 1st, 2nd, so on).
