Re: TH350 problems Shifts at 4500+rpms?

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Particularly in the vacuum line that connects to the vacuum modulator on the transmission? Without a way to sense engine load the transmission will not shift correctly, and if the engine has a bad vacuum leak it can neither run correctly nor supply the transmission with an accurate indication of load. If it's been driven alot, or driven hard in a poorly running condition or without the modulator connected the transmission will certainly be damaged, possibly severely.
