    Replacing vacuum lines and possibly the modulator...

    Adjusted the vacuum valve and replaced the modulator and no change at all on my shifting issues... It seems like Im starting out in 2nd gear cause it only upshifts once at around 1700rpm, but the shift is weird... When the shift happens the truck kinda slows down a tad and then its a little...

    Thanks a ton Warthog... I found this thread last night and have it saved on my favorites...

Pulled the modulator and it does not have an adjustment screw on the inside... I do indeed know about the...

    Replacing vacuum lines and possibly the modulator...

    Did check fluid level and hoses... Fluid level is good, but some of the rubber hoses were cracked... That's why I am replacing them and was going to use the replacement of these hoses as a starting point in solving my shifting issues... As Ive read on many threads that some other members had...

    Replacing vacuum lines and possibly the modulator...

    Am thinking about replacing all my vacuum lines today and seeing if that helps my shifting issues out that Ive been having as of late... My tranny doesn't seem to want to shift normally, it shifts way late from 1st to 2nd... When it does finally shift its a little hard, not a huge klunk, but not...
