79 c6 tranny troubles...............

I have a 79 f250 460 with a c6.,I'am only getting 10 psi of vac(cam).Will the c-6 have trouble shifting at this low vac.It's works great when cold but will not auto shift when (ok manuel)warm/hot and slips out of 3rd.This tranny has just been rebuilt and the tranny guy say's it needs at least 15 psi of vac to work right. Any thoughts

The shift will be a bit higher with that amount of vacuum but by the sound of it there are internal concerns.
