I have a '67 ford F100 that has a transplant late 70's ford 351m with a C6 transmission in it. Problem I am having is the the truck is acting like a manual when you don't push in the clutch when stopped. It just flat out stalls. Put it in neutral starts right up put it in Drive and everything works fine. No slipping, no clunking and just runs smooth.
I plan on doing a transmission flush through the cooler lines and filter change. I peeked at the torque converter through the inspection cover and it does have a drain plug so I can get that as well. I'm not sure if that will be successful but since I bought it used and don't know the history I figured it would be worth a shot.
I'm thinking I might have a bad torque converter but I can't find any info of this being a typical symptom. I would hate to dig that deep in especially if it would be something simple like a vacuum modulator valve causing the problem.
