    I made a deal on some new rear tires, bought some ZDDP additive for the oil I never got to change, since I got side tracked installing a Gateway Classic Mustangs, front and rear suspension on a 68 Bullitt clone car at my buddies Mustang shop.

    How To Service Ford Mustang (maverick) C4 Transmissions

    This is the vacuum modulator, which either screws in or is retained with a clamp depending the C4's vintage. To adjust the vacuum modulator, which controls shift points, remove the vacuum hose and use a small common screwdriver to make adjustments clockwise or counterclockwise, but never more than one-quarter turn at a time. Never go more than four turns in either direction. Clockwise, you increase diaphragm spring pressure, which delays upshifts and makes them firm. Counterclockwise makes shifts softer and earlier. Check the vacuum hose for leaks, which can cause both engine and transmission performance issues.
