1979 - C6.. HELP !!!
Gents......
Put your transmisson hats on guys !
1979 4x4 f150.... frame rebuilt,,, reconditioned most everything over the last 9 months,,, except the trans as it was done 3 years ago and has about 10,000 miles.
i put an external fan driven cooler/filter on it,,, left the stock filter off.... also had to " home - weld " a transfer case frame mount....that summarizes my efforts to date,,, now....all of a sudden two "things" have started to happen...
1. when cold, it is slow to go into gear,,, forward or reverse....
2. form a standing start,,, when i moderatly "punch" the throttle, it more or less "pops" outta gear,,, this does not happen unless iam accelerating from a standing start.....
could it be .... vacum modulator or a band adjustment????
ne thoughts would be greatly appreciated ..

slow initial engagement based on my 78 book it says fluid level, linkage adjustment, clutch and band application, or oil control system
do you have to rev it up to get it to pop back into gear? if you do then its the fluid level most likely.

>left the stock filter off
Why? Did you just remove it? Is there a pickup so that you are sucking fluid from the bottom of the pan?
It sound like you are sucking more air than fluid at times. I think you need the stock filter.
