C6 being dumb

I recently bought an '83 f-150 w/ a 302. I put in a new motor, but the tranny is acting up now. It shifts fine going into 2nd, but shifts back and forth between 2nd and 3rd for a second or two during normal driving. I pulled the vacuum hose off the modulator and there was a little fluid in it. Also, when the engine is running, I can hear a hissing sound (like a vacuum leak) around the modulator, but only in park and nuetral. Will replacing the modulator fix this?

First check for liquid in the vacumn lines. Water or oil in the line can make a C6 work funny.

Sounds like it's time for a new shift modulator.

Allright, I'll get the modulator this weekend and see what happens.
