tranny vacuum modulator

[mental_help]

What is the difference between the adjustable tranny vacuum modulator and the regular one? Also witch one is the best to get?

IIRC (and I'm not 100% positive), the adjustable one will allow the shift points to be altered slightly by changing how much vacuum the tranny sees.

BTW..moving to the transmission forum

There is also a third one which is made for turbo equipped vehicles. I think they have preset shift points which are a little different than the regular calibration. Be careful not to lose the pin when you replace it. Check the spool which is front of it for any binding. Put petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on the parts you pull out to hold them while reassembling everything.
