Thanks, Dave. This is all good stuff, and I'm glad to see people pointing out the relationship between power output and trans function. I first noticed when I replaced a plugged filter and the trans started behaving badly - readjusted all the linkages, VCV and mod, to better ends. It seem that the mounting bolts have little to do with this particular configuration - always smart to ask an expert, though.
In the process, I have found that my modulator spring was no longer adjustable - the stop on the end of the spring had rusted through, and the adjuster was nonfunctional rendering the adjuster useless. Mod replacement eliminated the 2/3 flare completely, so to those of you who say "wouldn't a bad mod produce hard shifts?" I say NOT if the spring is shot.
Look here before you start pulling valve bodies and throwing check balls around the garage..

I could still use an updated K2 spring train, I think, still a little mushy on the 3/4.
