Question tranny type

My truck is a 1988 F-250 with 351 CID and automatic transmission. I have been unable to identify the tranny type from reading the posts here. The certification label code for the transmission is "K". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

K is a C-6 tranny. They're bulletproof

Question tranny problems

Now that I know the tranny type is a C6 maybe someone has had a similar problem that I am having. None of my manuals (Haynes) show this symptom in their troubleshooting procedures.

The tranny will not up-shift when in the D position. Both 1 and 2 positions work fine. The fluid level was low, but bringing it up to level did not solve the problem. I checked the vacuum modulater and it held 25 lbs. Vacuum from the engine is good as tested at the modulator. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

clogged tranny filter perhaps - happen to my mom's old Buick -tranny fluid read full on the dipstick but the filter was clogged so it wouldn't circulate and the tranny wouldn't shift above 2nd while driving.
