Hey yall, on my 89 7.3 NA IDI my 1-2 shift is almost immediately. I mean as soon as I leave the driveway i'm into second shifts around 1000 RPM. I"m not ******* the gas just normal easy dirving. then my 2-3 isn't much better, around 1500. Then it just lugs up to speek. once i'm up to speed it has plenty of power. However if i'm in third and i want to downshift it won't just increased smoke, i need to slow down then hard throttle to down shift, I DONT KNOW. If I put my foot to the floor starting from a stop it shifts highter right around 2200 for each shift 1-2, 2-3. Should i adjust my modulator on the IP? what about the adjustment on the transmission, any help would be appreciated.

I think I found the problem with the shifting, the hose leading to the transmission had a small crack in it, I changed the hose now it seems to shift a lot better. As far as the kick down adjustment I havn't messed with that yet. For it to kick down do I turn in or out.
