No Kickdown '83 300D

It seems I am going one step forward one step backward. Modulator was replaced on tranny. Car still shifts on the positive side but much smoother. But in the process I lost the kick down. Also when I come to a stop there is a noticeable clunk with the final downshift to first.
I don't know where to start troubleshooting.

Just got my MS vaccuum kit the other day... 2nd issue to diagnose (after my door vaccuum leaks this weekend) is the ventilation system. Very odd behavior...

83 300D Low MPG

MPG

Finally got a chance to make an extended highway trip on my new (for me) '83 300D. This is a one-owner car with a verified 116k miles. Drove 323 miles on I-75 on cruise control for 80% of the time at 2800 rpm for an indicated 65 mph. I drove about 30 miles on city streets and the rest on cruise control at 3,000 rpm. My mpg was 24.33. The mpg seems low. EPA says 30. I wonder if new injectors are called for? Or should I look elsewhere?
