I've been doing some shopping for transmission parts. I think I've finally decided on the package of upgrades I can afford (I of course want MORE). But I've run into some confusion regarding the bands. There's 2 in my transmission (and most transmissions). You can choose between rigid and flexable, and there's different friction materials as well. You can get OE quality. I have no idea what that's made of. You can also get Red Eagle style, Kevlar, or Carbon Fiber. So far, no ones' been able to tell me what the differences are in these. I'm looking for what the shift, wear, and longevity characteristics are. I of coure want durability, but I also want performance. And we all know that those don't always go hand in hand.
These are the three different styles. Red Eagle, Kevlar in the middle, and Carbon Fiber on the right. These are also the rigid style bands.
And this is the flex style band. This one happens to be carbon fiber as well.
I think I can get most of what I need from here: TransmissionCenter.net. The website is a bit clunky but they seem to have everything that I'm looking for, and lots of info to boot.
If anyone has any knowledge on this subject, feel free to post a comment.

I've been revealing my automatic 46 RH Transmission in my '95 Dodge Dakota myself it's my first attempt after having a transmission shop tell me they wanted about $2,500 to rebuild it! I've got the overdrive section completed now I'm working on the main case I've already installed a new low reverse bag lower reverse drum and overdrive piston retainer along with the seals and the o-rings and put my band back on but I just need to know how tight to adjust the lower reverse band onto the lower reverse drum which I'm not sure about that and I was wondering if you might know how tight to adjust it on there 🤔
Sorry. It’s been so long since I did this I dont really remember or have that information. Good luck to you!
