Having really hard shifts unless I floor it.Tranny was rebuilt about 1-2 yrs.
I have a US GEARS OD hooked up to it that isn't functioning.
Even when downshifting sometimes I hear a loud clunk!!
Any help I appreciate!!

check for a vacuum leak in the line from the engine to the vacuum modulator on the back of the transmission, it runs down from the back of the engine on top of the transmission to the rear of the transmission, the modulator itself can be bad and or could need adjustment also

anywhere vacuum can be lost is a possibility, i would start at the transmission line and go from there to make sure that is ok, that vacuum modulator controls the shift points in the transmission so if there is loss of vacuum then it will affect shifting, there are other members that have had the same issue, might be able to search and see if there are other common issues with that, but i think you might have posted this in the wrong section so not many are seeing it, is this for the 1989 f350 in your signature? if it is then you should post in the 6.9 and 7.3 idi section,
