Well after replacing the 40 yrs old leaf springs, what a PITA that was. I decided to wash the mustang and take it for a drive it was 70 degrees here yesturday. I've noticed that the trans pan was leaking a little bit so I tightened up the pan leak went away. Now driving the car seemed normal except for I wasn't used to the tightness of the suspension. 1st gear fine, going into second fine, then going from second to 3rd it drags out really long and then hits hard into 3rd. Also when it's in 2nd it shifts up and down, very obnoxious when your not even barely touching the gas. Now I had this trans over hauled about 3 years ago with a shift kit and a 2200-2600 stall converter. Pretty pissed off that I only have less then 2k miles and this c4 trans is acting up already. So now I'm guessing I'm gonna have to bring it back to the trans shop and see what happens. I swear it's always something when you want to take a little cruise. End of rant . :soapboxrant
 
first , check transmission fluid.Engine warm and at idle and in "P" , now you can check tran fluid level.
Vacuum modulator ?? connection of the vacuum ??
Some simple things to check before heading to the trans shop. :confu :confu
 
I checked all of that everything was fine, I did add a little fluid to the trans it was a little low but other then that everything was good. Checked the vacuum line looked ok. So monday it's off to get fixed
 
Well took the car to the trans shop they couldnt find anything. But they figured out what's wrong the Kick down cable is not working correctly causing the whole problem. So to go with my edelbrock carb I bough the lokar kickdown. I figured while the car was at the shop mines well have to rear serviced and throw a fresh set of gears in it.
