A518 [62-UP] Automatic Transmission Front Band FLEX Kickdown Flex

A worn or glazed kickdown band is one of the more direct causes of soft or delayed upshifts in A518 and A727 TF-8 automatic transmission units, and this flex band is the replacement piece that addresses that failure point. Unlike a standard rigid band, the flex construction allows the band to wrap evenly around the drum surface during engagement, which means contact is distributed more consistently across the lining rather than concentrated at the edges.

This is a single-piece listing: one flex band, nothing more. There are no gaskets, no seals, no clutch packs, no Automatic Transmission Filter, and no hardware in this shipment. If your repair calls for additional components, they need to be sourced separately. The band is sized for A518 and A727 TF-8 units and covers applications from 1962 forward.

At REMCO, parts are. Each order is assembled individually, checked against the item list, and that same list goes into the box with the part.
