I've read lots of posts about c-4's skipping second gear. I went through
this with mine and thought I would let everyone know what was wrong with mine, maybe it will help someone else. Mine was a bit different than some
will be, because someone had removed some parts which made it tougher
to figure out. Throttle pressure is what slows the upshift process. A good
way to check and see if your modulator is working is to remove the
vacuum line. This will cause it to stay in 1st gear . Mine would not,
and I found that the pin and valve were both missing. After replacing
them. it still did not work. Next I checked the intermediate band adjustment,
a bit off but ok. I eventually found that the throttle pressure relief valve
was missing. This is the spring and valve assembly that falls out when removing the filter. After replacing this it shifts great. Hope this is not
to long and boring, but I felt like I was chasing my tail with this problem and
thought this might help others.
