2-3 FLARE IS THIS BECAUSE I HAVE NO KICK DOWN LINKAGE?

I JUST PUT A C4 INTO MY 87 EFI CAR. I DID NOT PUT A KICKDOWN LINKAGE SETUP ON IT AND I THINK THIS MAY BE MY PROBLEM WITH THE FLARE. 1-2 IS STRONG 2-3 FLARES BUT NOT AT LOW RPM. I ADJUSTED THE BAND WITH LITTLE LUCK. WILL A MANUAL VALVE BODY CURE THIS AS WELL. I BOUGHT THIS TRANS FROM A GUY THAT SAID HE JUST HAD WORK DONE TO IT WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT AFTER THE WORK. ALSO I HAVE A 3000 STALL. I AM THINKING OF A NEW SERVO ALSO. IF I NEED THE KICK DOWN ANY ONE EVER MAKE ONE FOR A EFI CAR THANKS

Well you can just lock the down shift lever in the "on" position. But think you need to make sure your Direct/high clutches are not burnt.

Down shift rod won't help, I never run them. As said before clutches are a possibility. A valve body will usually cure this problem if the trans is in good shape. You can really only make it better with the upgrades.
