Question C6 Adjustment Question

For higher rpm shifts on a C6, do you adjust the modulator screw CCW or CW? And how much of a turn is needed to get noticable results?
Thanks
Martin

C6 Adjustment Question

Martin, as far as the modulator, it controls the shift timing and firmness. If you have an adjustable modulator, a small-bladed screwdriver will engage in a slot inside the vacuum nipple. Turning the screw clockwise (in) will cause later and firmer shifts, turning it counter clockwise (out) will cause earlier and softer shifts. Don't turn it more than 5 turns from the original setting. I count the number of turns (in or out) and write it down somewhere so I know where I'm at.
