I didn't mention this earlier, but we had the reverse go out. (Edit - That's why I posted about the ATF being black.) So, $1,050 later the thing is back on the road working with not just the band fixed but the mechanic also worked on another band which needed work and flushed the transmission, transmission cooler and torque converter. The vehicle coasts longer now.

Now I'm working on the power steering system, changing the fluid. The old stuff was junk and smelled burnt.
