Re: [T3] Auto transmission adjustment

He is wrong. If your '70 SQB has F.I you will have an A-type vacuum 
modulator. Inside is a 3mm(?) allen adjusting screw. Turning the set 
screw CW increases the primary throttle pressure and causes the gear 
changes to occur at higher speeds. Turning it CCW has the opposite 
effect . If you remove the hose and find any ATF running out of 
either the hose or the modulator, the modulator is faulty and should 
be replaced. When fitting a new modulator a pressure gauge must be 
connected to the primary throttle pressure test connection and the 
modulator must be adusted - with the engine running at idle and the 
transmission warmed up and in neutral - until the pressure is within 
spec.
