On the driver's side of the tranny, just above the fluid outlet to cooler line, is the adjuster for the 2nd gear band. Loosen the 3/4" locknut, tighten the 5/16" adjuster nut till it's good and snug, then loosen it 1.75 to 2 turns and retighten the 3/4" lock nut.
To adjust the low/reverse band, you need to remove the transmission pan. Typically, this band doesn't need adjustment. If reverse isn't engaging correctly, or if the truck acts weird when the gear selector is in L position, it might need adjustment.

Actually on the 48RE isn't it a torx instead of the hex on the front band? The torque spec is 72 in lbs.

You won't break those.. Don't get too comfortable under there, you'll be done before you realize.

Admittedly, I've never been under a 48re transmission. I adjusted the 2nd gear band on my Junker Drag Truck (47rh) last night, that's why I knew the nut sizes off-hand.

Got it done, it sure does run a lot better. Finally fixed my shuttle shift issue.

Adjust the front band and do a fluid/filter change.

Wow I did the band adjustment and what I difference I have no slipping but on occasion have the 1-2-1-2. So I will change the fluid and filter this week and maybe go with a bw pressure seloniod . After hearing some people doing the bw pressure thing it something doesn't want to shift right, should I do it or not.
What's the kickdown thing?

Glad the band adjustment helped. Since you're going to be in there to replace the solenoid, it'd be a good idea to replace the pressure sensor at the same time.
