What controls the line pressure on a C4? The modulator? The tranny kickdown linkage? Last night's race: launched in first gear, shifted into second (which normally shifts) and nothing happened, shifted into drive and the tranny went into third. One guy told me that the line pressure is screwed up. I don't run a kick down lever, and the transpak kit says not to hook up the modulator when in full competition trim.

Line pressure in controlled by a pressure regulator valve. Modulator has a effect on line press but a small one.
I would think you have servo problems or your 2nd gear band needs to be adjusted badly.
Does it shift into 2nd if you are not racing and going easy on the throttle?

This may be a stupid question, but is you shifter linkage set right???? It happened to me once.
Good Luck!
