When you installed yours, how out of adjustment was it???
IIRC, it's been a few years ago...before I found this forum, the adjustment wasn't too far out, but enough to cause some flaring 3-4. Due to a vacuum leak in the climate control, I had to block that portion and set it with part of the vacuum system connected. The main PIA was the pressure setting adjustment with banjo bolt, tubing, pressure guage and driving test. I set mine to a firm shift, thinking that when I resolved the climate control issue it would back off a little.

Which was the case for a while. Of course, now I have another vacuum leak in the climate control system, due to another ruptured diaphragm, and now the firm shift is over the edge due to the vacuum loss.
