My tranny always had a rough 1>2 shifting, then smooth 2>3 and 3>4; I had some issues with the tranny and I replaced it with a refurbished one. Now it's still rough on 1>2, it's smooth on 2>3 and it's rough on 3>4. Downshifting is always smooth. I've searched in the forums and some people had said that they bypassed the vacuum control valves on top of the engine (mine are fairly new, about 2 years old), but does that work? Or what should I do? To me, transmissions are still a dark and unknown realm...
