Default transmission pulls when stopped.
I just acquired a 79 f150 supercab. 390cid,and automatic transmission.There`s only 60,000 original miles on this truck.It runs great,drives great and stops the same. The only problem i have with this truck is I have to put thr tranny into neutral when I come to a stop.The tranny still pulls when u come to a stop and the motor will die because of this.Is this an issue with the modulator valve? i just need a little help identifying the problem.Thanks for any help you can offer.

Sounds like a converter problem maybe a valve body but that was alittle before my time

I doubt its a problem with a modulator valve, that controls the shifts.

I'm curious as to what your idle rpm is?

I'd think the idle is too high, try getting it down to 600-750 and see if it gives you problems.
