I can't seem to adjust the modulator for firm shifts (or at all.)
I have never heard of this and can't find [ed:doesn't mean it's not there] any reference to this in my FSM, but it's one of those PDF ones where the search function doesn't want to work...

Basically, yes, it does apply to the OM617 as well... although the injection pump and VCV are different (the adjustment procedure is NOT the same as the 60x VCV), if the engine power delivery is wrong, the shifting will be wrong as well. The 61x setup also determines shifts based on throttle position.
Although I couldn't find anything in the 617 FSM specifically related to the VCV, check out
this PDF for adjusting the throttle linkage... it may be of some help.
FYI - I updated the previous post with a link to the OM603 procedure for adjusting the VCV (this obviously won't help for the 617, though).
