Sounds like a vacuum leak, check all lines and fittings visually, might find it. The little green thing and blue saucer on the driver-side fender is a good place to start.
I knocked a couple vacuum lines off this week. I had to move the windshield washer reservoir to change the #5 glow plug. I had the same symptoms, hard shifts and no floor heat. I had knocked 2 lines off near the blue saucer.


Kaiz3n, was your feet heat working before the problem started? You may need new foot well pod(s). If you are chasing vacuum leaks and want to eliminate some vacuum lines, you can get the EGR blocking plate from Brian Carlton. Then you can get rid of the lines and associated junk behind the passenger headlight. I would get some new vacuum tube and replace the rubber connections if you think they are leaking. What part did the PO Goop?
