Really, where did you see that?
Yes I know, I know. I get all my questions answered because I kiss ass so much. Man, your transmission isn't the only thing you need to get adjusted.

Catch more flise w/sugar?
 I grew up w/horses and cows and other animals. Flies tended to gather around crap and dead things. We tried honey and sugar as kids, because that was a favorite saying of my mother. Sugar and honey attracted more bees and ants than flies.  Anywho...Rebreath, please be patient. I do this from work while on break, mainly, and sometimes from home. About your tranny, IIRC, the modulator is supposed to hold some vacuum. It's the VCV that does the releasing of vacuum. Check the rubber cap and make sure it is not leaking. Hard shifts tend to point to lack of vacuum seen by the modulator, or the modulator could be bad as well. Lots of variables in an automatic tranny. I do not kiss a$$ either. I know the difference between kleenex and charmin.

Lets regroup
redbreath,
OK, I'm subscribed to this thread now and Ill take you through this to the best of my ability. -fluid and filter are OK -master brake line level is ok Its time to check if the modulator hold vaccuum. Search for a thread with me and tankdriver, theres an explanation of how to do this in there. Make the prescribed measurements I told tankdriver to do and report back. That will tell us a lot. My bet is that you have a moderate leak in your central locking system. It takes a while for the vacuum to come up to full since the leak slows the building of the vacuum. Eventually, it does get to the correct level and shifting is fine. BUT, i hate to jump to solutions. Data is needed. dd

My '82 300D has a harsh 4th gear shift for the first one or two shifts of the day then its smooth. You need to get back to the basics.
1. set vcv to 10 -12 " make sure vac drops to 0" at wide open throttle 2. modulator holding vac (done) 3.adjust bowden cable so shifting is about 2500 to 3000 rpms 4. adjust modulator valve out to soften shifts 5.(Should be first ) Change trans fluid and filter add 1 pint Lucas Trans Fix and fill with mercon fluid to proper level This is the procedure that I followed and the shifts improved with every adjustment. The biggest factor for making it shift like butter is the fluid, filter and Lucas Trans Fix change. Hope this helps . I live in Orchard Park NY, someday we'll get together for a beer.
