We must think alike. I did attach something ( a medium binder clip off my desk)to the throttle linkage and it works pretty well. It's a lot nicer having the ability to get it to kick down from 4 to 3 with the throttle instead of manually operating the shift lever.

I have found out that the 3 way vacuum valve on the valve cover is leaking. With a vacuum source of 20 on the input, and plugs in both of the other lines, it drops to about 9. It is leaking through the actuator pin o-ring.

So I have ordered that part, and the Y connector, from fastlane and will be "playing" with it more. My vacuum is so low because of the leak, that I shouldn't be hurting the tranny, at least I hope. I guess you had 20 on the modulator all the time...probably not a good thing.

I will follow up after installation of new parts. Thanks for the input, as usual.
