Hey everyone,

I'm trying to adjust out some shift flaring on my one SD.

Mileage: 142k
ATF: less than 20k

Some notes:
1) K1 spring kit has been installed
2) B2 has been replaced
3) Throttle Linkage connection to pedal is adjusted so pedal is firm and throttle response is quick.
4) EGR switchover valves are removed and lines are plugged.

When cold, 2-3 will always flare 1k rpms, sometimes 3-4 as well

When warm, 2-3 will seldom flare, 3-4 does flare

I might have the vacuum modulator adjusted too much as the 1-2 shift is very docile and gentle.

I turned it two clicks to the right last night trying to lessen the vaccum to quell the shifts. This might have been the incorrect direction.

Any thoughts?
