    HI - I wonder  did  you  use  the right  size modulator
and is the vacume line going to the right place ? . and what is the color of the tranny fluid, I hope that it is
a nice clean blood  red. if  not  I would  drop the pan and change the screen/filter  and than get a can of spray == starting fluid and spray all of the parts you can get to while under the car spray the valve body ,etc. get it all clean  than re-place a new screen / filter  and replace the gasket/pan and fill it with fluid.  see if it is any better.  but is there too much vacume comming from the vacume line to the tranny modul.  ....>>><
