Its been a while.....but when you convert to manual valve body they give you a special plug to replace vacuum modulator.
Next would be the Governor might not be installed correctly or faulty

What ever you do, let me know. I rebuilt my TH350 last summer and it isn't shifting into 3rd. I does shift from 1st to 2nd but then it won't shift up to third. I have almost given up on it and I'm just about to take it into a shop.
