C6 tranny adjustments
I am getting familiar with my F250, and would like to know if I can adjust the C6 tranny. If I stay out of the throttle, it will shift from 1st to 2nd fine, but if I give it some serious gas it will not shift into 2nd until I let off of the gas and then get back on.
Also happens sometimes from 2nd to 3rd.
Ideas?

Yes you can adjust the Band, Its the stud sticking out of the drivers side with the lock nut. You need to get a new lock nut before you do this as it has a seal made to it. Id haave to look up the procedure though

Mine did that and I replaced the vacuum modulator and problem disappeared. Make sure that it's getting vacuum to it and maybe replace it. One thing is that there is a small pin that is magnetic and "normally" comes out with the modulator. If not you have to get a magnet and remove it before putting in the new one. It will fit into the hole of the modulator then put the modulator back in.

That band adjustment is just for the 2nd gear I believe anyway, but I think I used 1 turn because it was easier to gauge while laying on my back under the truck.

it modulates stuff. actually, it controls shift points, runs by vacuum and check first if the line from the valve to the back of the engine is intact and doesnt leak.
if not, then simply unbolt the old valve and slam in the new one

I think that the manual says it is to be adjusted using INCH-pounds of torque (not FOOT pounds).
