Replacing the A4LD Vacuum Modulator - 3/20/2008 6:42:50 PM    sleeper_inc Posts: 8650 Joined: 9/1/2006 From: Regina Beach, Sask Status: offline If your Modulator has failed (like mine) then when you take the vacuum line off transmission fluid will drip out (flow out) Loosen the bolt (its 10MM) and take the bracket out Old modulator on the right, new one of the left This is the thin metal pin inside the modulator... DO NOT LOOSE THIS!!!! transfer over to the new modulator Pictures of the only modulator Picture of the new modulator Bracket used to hold the modulator in place Space were the modulator goes New modulator in place with vacuum line hooked up not so hard to do when the car is jacked up < Message edited by sleeper_inc -- 3/20/2008 6:54:17 PM > _____________________________ Project No Hands 2.3 Tech Articles Waiting for a real race..

So i replaced it and figured i would change the filter and fluid in the tranny also. Well come to find out my trans is out of a 90 mustang even though my mustang is a 91. Drove nearly clear across town to the parts store that had the 91 filter to find out it didnt fit F*** me. Should have double checked. Sleeper does your new one have an adjustment screw on it?

Is that another symptom of a bad regulator, or is that a bigger problem? (in reply to usermst9673) Post #: 11

The only way to know if its blown is to take the vacuum line off it and see if transmission fluid comes streeming out _____________________________ Project No Hands 2.3 Tech Articles Waiting for a real race..
