Post moved from an old thread in the Clutch forum.

Krisandkatrina Garcia: You need to pay attention to where you post. You'll never get answers without full information and sticking with the same thread.

How is it that your 1995 F150 has an engine last seen in 1974 with a transmission last produced in 1981?

On a C4, hard shifts can be caused by the modulator not being connected to a vacuum source. Do you have a vacuum line from the carb down to the passenger side of the transmission? Modulator looks like so:
