disconnecting the vacuum is a very bad idea indeed, not only will it make shifts very hard but it can ruin the transmission...I know from personal experience .

really? i have been told by a reputable source that the transmission likes to shift hard, and that the softening of the shift is a creature comfort.

what about all the folks drvng around with vac leaks and hard shifts?
