TH350 with no Vac modulator..HOW? | Pirate 4×4

THe 400s don’t have a vacuum modulator, but rather an electronic kick down so vacuum is not a problem. Anyways, to put that Th350 behind the 6.2 you are going to need an adapter because the 6.2 has the BOP bolt pattern, unless your Th350 is one of those universal bolt pattern bell housings.

Change TH350 & TH400 Shift Points with an Adjustable Vacuum Modulator

The B&M Adjustable Vacuum Modulator (Part# 20234) comes pre-adjusted for ’normal’ shift points, but it is fully adjustable (see below), allowing you to customize the shift points (within a range of 2-4 mph). This unit is designed for use with select applications, including GM TH400 and TH350 transmissions. Allows you to tailor shift points.

TH350 Transmission Shifting – Team Camaro Tech

It works in conjunction with the vacuum modulator. I previously thought the governor only controlled WOT shifts and the modulator controlled the part throttle shifts – its not that simple. An adjustable modulator is good for only 2 – 4 MPH adjustment, there is a kit you can get that allows you to change the springs and weight in the governor. This affects the WOT and part throttle shift points.

No; it should shift back to 3rd at 5000 rpm. Now it shifts back to 3rd at around 5800-6000 rpm. No, it doesn’t. Yes, I can manually shift it just fine.

EX: son’s 83 …

th350 shifting too early…. | NastyZ28.com

The WOT shift rpm is controlled by the detent and governor pressure. You mustr have detent pressure to act against the governor to ever get WOT shift rpms up to the 5000+ range. SO… First thing to look at is the kickdown (detent) cable adjustment. Once that is properly adjusted, the trans in stock form will shift from 4200-5500 rpm WOT …

Explain to me how the TH350 works?? | NastyZ28.com

You then manually down shifted the transmission into second gear. Also check the vacuum line to the modulator and make sure you don’t have a leak.

Technical – th350 kickdown adjustment | The H.A.M.B.

Like others have said, on a TH350 the shift points and operating pressure are controlled by the vacuum modulator in conjunction with the governor. The cable is only there for WOT downshifts.

TH350 Shift Points?? | Team Chevelle

The vacuum modulator is not in the circuit at WOT conditions. Thats the governor’s job. The vac modulator works when you have manifold vacuum. Like under gentle throttle conditions. 4000 RPM shift at WOT sounds about right to me if you have the trans in Drive. If you want the transmission to shift later than that then manual shift it. You’re …

Eleanor’s Nemesis. Premium Member. Joined Mar 9, 2006. 5,586 Posts. #6 · Mar 7, 2012. Sounds like it may be the ’kickdown’ cable, if it is then the trans will not shift down to a lower gear when you stomp the gas pedal at speed. It will still downshift manually, however.

North Carolina. Mar 25, 2015. #1. Alright yall so I had my th350 and np203 rebuilt like a month ago. It was a quality rebuild, 700 bucks for both.

TH350 vacuum modulator question – Team Chevelle

The vacuum modulator needs to be hooked up to full manifold vacuum. You can run the transmission without a kick down cable but you have to downshift manually.

TH350 – Leave Vacuum modulator disconnected? | NastyZ28.com

camaro71/holland said: Blown seal, yes – can happen. Damaged clutch material, no sir. Too little pressure will damage clutches (and more), too much probably won’t.

Tranny won’t shift out of 1st if i floor it th350!!! | Hot Rod Forum

In the days of GM automatics like the Powerglide, TH350, or TH400, engineers needed a way to modulate transmission-line pressure to adjust shift points based on engine load. What they came up with was a simple device called the vacuum modulator valve. A vacuum line connected engine-manifold vacuum to this valve on the transmission that instantly signaled a load change to the transmission via …

On a TH350, it controls all forward shifts. It has nothing to do with reverse! If you have to rev up the engine for it to engage in reverse, and it engages in 1st, there is a serious problem. It takes considerably higher line pressure for reverse. That is why you are needing to rev it up.
