Lack of vacuum means hard shifting between the gears. Vacuum leaks are the first thing to look for when it comes to the tranny.

your so right , my new to me 82 300d was just put on the road. The 1 -2 shift was a jolt into second ,then way to quick into 3rd and smooth into 4th. The fitting from the main vac line to the vcv and to the modulator was loose fitting. The tube would just slide around in the rubber connector. New rubber connector for $1.19 at Pepboys and it feels like I have a new transmission
