Myu M1009 sifted hard,
We discovered a few vacume leaks, Like on line nothing serious.
The crankcase depression hose (Big hose ) leading from the oil fill area to
the CDRV valve ( on the passenger valve cover ) had cracks and replacing
that it shifts much better.
See TM 9-2320-289-20 page 3-5 Available on www.logsa.army.mil for free\
51. WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY
Step 1. Check transmission fluid indicator for proper reading. (See TM
9-2320-289-10)
Step 2. Inspect vacuum hoses, vacuum pump, and vacuum regulator valve for
improper
connection, leakage, or damage.
Connect or replace vacuum hoses and vacuum pump as required. (See
paragraphs 3-21 and 3-7) Adjust vacuum regulator valve. (See paragraph
3-21.1)
Step 3. Inspect vacuum modulator (right side of transmission near base of
transmission fill
tube) for leakage and damage.
Tighten mounting bolt to 20 Ib.-ft. (27 N.m). Notify your supervisor if
damaged
or still leaking.
As well on the pasanger side of the fuel injector pump I rotated the
transmission vacuum valve a little so it would shift sooner. see page
3-64
