I have a '94 explorer 4wd auto trans. It will shift into reverse or park with only a slight 4sec delay but OD, D, 2, and 1 give it a 90sec to never delay on the shift. Once in gear It shifts just smooth between 1, 2, 3, etc.... It has ATF and I changed the trans vacuum modulator.

I think it may be a vacuum problem because about a couple weeks ago it only took 4 to 8 seconds to shift. then one day I went to start the motor but didnt crank it long enough and the vacuum lines blew off the tree. 1 of them I capped off to smooth out the engines idle however that seemed to make the shifting issue worse. When I removed the cap it idled rough but the motor would shift sooner.

Any suggestions before I say forget it and sell it?
