C6 issues

so i'm new to FTE and haven't really found what i am looking for so far in the search.

i have just purchased a 75 f150 king cab w/ a C6. it doesn't shift into third ever. not in drive, or if i manually put it in drive from 2 while driving. the tranny shifts fine from 1st to 2nd. the fluid is in good shape, but a little too full. i also replaced the vacuum modulator.

any words of advise?

thanks!

Did you notice if the modulator pin was installed when replacing it?

Might have to pull the valve body and inspect for the check ***** and also do some air checks.

ya know- i feel silly- i didn't notice if the pin was in. i'll check that. if it turns out that the pin is installed, how big of a deal is it to check the check *****? i haven't done a whole lot of auto trans repair. just the basic replacement of filters and such. thanks for the help!!!

You just pull the valve body and check the locations, and also just visually inspect it.

When it comes to that someone will guide you thru it.
