Re: T-35 tranny question

" From: "Jay" <jciampi@xxxxxxxx>

" My 66 American/232 has a T-35 tranny, I guess and it has a rather harsh 
" downshift from 3-1 when coming to a stop. It is harsh enough to cause a 
" clunking noise (not the driveshaft as that has all been replaced, bushings 
" and all). I see in the TSM that the tranny has a modulator valve and 
" according to a friend who USED TO work on ATs, the modulator can cause this 
" symptom. The TSM isn't very specific, but it looks like the modulator is 
" INTERNAL (unlike my old Ford 390 of years ago). If so, I guess that's a job 
" for a transmission shop.

how's the vac line?  when i got my '67 marlin/232, it wouldn't shift
into high at all because the line [actually tranny fitting] was
broken, wedging it into 'full throttle kickdown' mode.  it would shift
1-2 manually via d1/d2.
