I recently had a good bit of work done on my 68 Mustang coupe engine. I had new intake, carb, heads and cam installed. All parts by Edelbrock. After upgrades I had over heat issue explained elsewhere in this forum. After the engine work my c4 auto trans is shifting weird. If I am cruising along the street at about 35 mph the trans will shift up if I speed up just a bit and then shift down iimmediately if I slow down just a bit. And it jerks real hard when it down shifts. The trans was just rebuilt a year ago and the car has been driven very little over the past year because of problems. It’s very irritating to be driving down the street with the trans shifting up and down abruptly. The trans was perfect before the work. The mechanic must have done something to cause this since it was perect when it went in had this problem after the work was done. It took 3 months for the mechanic to get the work done because he kept screwing up. When I got the car back the second time it ran fine trans and all but it was getting to hot so went back to shop to see if he drilled the steam vent holes. When it came back out of the shop I had the trans problem.
I thought maybe a vacuum line problem or something of that sort. I am thinking they didn’t connect something back up right maybe. They had to pull intake and carb and one head back off to see if the holes were under the heads so they had to disconnect some things. I know the trans shifts on vacuum but I don’t know what to look for. The trans vac line is connected at base of carb where edelbrock says to connect it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
