I thought the 3/2 valve had something to do with transmission shift also? Not true? As I recall, Dieselgiant's site has a procedure to replace the 3/2 valve to restore proper shifting? Curious why it is called the 3/2 valve. I still have mine. Going to get rid of it now.

The first thing to do is to remove the 3-2 valves from that system. They only serve to run the EGR. Here is how to eliminate them:

After you remove the 3-2 valves, get a reading on the vacuum levels at idle and as you drive it. It's possible the flaring will increase. If so, report back and I'll show you what to do with it.
