I originally thought it was a worn clutch, too, until Gary and Loren mentioned vacuum. The other shifts are very firm, and the 3-4 happens too early from my point of view, and downshifts are very harsh. Seems like someone has overtightened the modulator to compensate for the slipping 2-3 shift (starts in second).
It's an 88 300TE. I'd love the manual's perspective. Thanks, Hendrik!
