FIOD [80-UP] Automatic Transmission Front Band FLEX Overdrive Drum

When the overdrive drum band wears or breaks, the transmission loses the ability to hold that ratio cleanly, and no amount of adjustment to the rest of the valve body or clutch pack fixes it. This listing is a single flex band, 1.5 inches wide, built to the overdrive drum dimension used in FIOD and FIOD automatic transmission units from 1980 through 1993.

The band is a flex design, which means it conforms to the drum surface under hydraulic apply pressure rather than relying on a rigid arc. That characteristic matters in units where the drum has seen heat cycling over the years, because a flex band maintains contact across the drum face even when the surface is not perfectly uniform. A rigid band in that same situation can leave gaps that cause inconsistent engagement or early wear.

This is a single-piece item, not a kit. It does not include friction discs, steels, an Automatic Transmission Filter, gaskets, or any other component. If your rebuild also needs sealing rings or clutch pack components, those are separate purchases. Review your parts list against what this listing covers before placing the order.

At REMCO, pieces like this one are pulled from stock and verified by hand against the part record before the box is closed. A piece list goes in with every order so the technician can confirm at the bench what arrived. REMCO has been working in automatic transmission parts since 1991, and that single-item verification step is applied the same way to a one-piece order as it is to a full overhaul kit.

The unit weight is 0.65 lb. To confirm fit, check that the transmission code on your unit reads FIOD or FIOD and that the build year is between 1980 and 1993. Also verify that your overdrive drum takes a 1.5-inch wide band before ordering.

• A flex band matched to the overdrive drum spec keeps engagement consistent and reduces slipping under load in FIOD and FIOD units built between 1980 and 1993.
• This listing covers the overdrive drum band only. It does not include any friction discs, steel plates, Automatic Transmission Filter, gaskets, or sealing rings. Confirm what else your rebuild needs before ordering.
• At 1.5 inches wide, this band is sized to the stock overdrive drum dimension, so it seats without modification and holds its position through normal apply and release cycles.
• One flex band, 1.5 in wide, 0.65 lb. Pulled individually from stock and checked against the part record before the box is sealed. A piece list is included inside the package.
• Before ordering, match the transmission code on your unit to FIOD or FIOD and confirm the build year falls within 1980 to 1993. Width and band type must also match your drum assembly.
