Question c6 shift problem

i have a 83 f250 4x4 with a c6 trans,under moderate driving conditions it will shift from 1st to 3rd with a mild clunk as if there was no 2nd gear,however at wide open throttle or close to it the 2nd gear shift feels good.i have installed a green stripe modulator and have tried to adjust to compensate with no luck.
this has been a problem for years even after the rebuild.
if anybody out there could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated!!
am thinking of changing the entire valve body

You can try a longer modulator pin.
There are 4 listed.
1.601-1.611
1.634-1.644
1.650-1.660
1.667-1.677

You can make your own from a metal coat hanger.
