Second, put a 2x6x36 or 48 on the floor in front of each ramp with

OK! There is nothing more tedious than jacking up the wagon etc. to turn

What's a "gauge".
Just kidding, I'm not that bovine. I know what they are, but I don't "do"
gauges in the quantitative sense. I do cookbook, pictures, and mentoreeing
under the guidance of a certified technician.
I may have been adjusting the "transmission modulator" w/o knowing what it
is calle
I've cured a clunking downshift by properly adjusting the transmission
modulator to the correct working pressure. Too high and you get
clunks. Too low and you get flaring.
Adjusting it per the book with a gauge is the only way to know for sure.

I guess I should have asked whether a bad vacuum control valve will cause
the symptoms that I describe (clunking on downshifts).
