The C-4 in my 74 has a hard 1-2 shift. It doesn't matter if I accelerate lightly or am in the throttle. Hot or cold it is the same. The 2-3 shift is normal and my garage shifts are normal. Since I got the Bronco I have serviced the transmission, replace the shift selector seals and installed a green stripe vacuum modulator with 1 turn clockwise to slightly delay the upshift to suit my liking (originally had a 2-port red stripe modulator). The fluid is type F, is nice and clean and the level is correct. The 1-2 shift was always hard before any of these items were done.
Does anyone have any clue as to what i should look for? Back in my GM days we had problems with the 1-2 accumulator (SERVO) springs breaking causing a hard 1-2 shift.
