[T3] (Fwd) AT Modulators

["Raoul O'Connell" <roconnel@emelnitz.ucla.edu>]

Dear Folks,

My mechanic told me my vacumn modulator was leaking and 
should be replaced.  He thought it might be responsible for the fact 
my trnasmission sorta snaps back hard when I put it into reverse 
from park and for the fact it sometimes (not often) shifts kinda hard.

Well, someone on the list suggested my problem sounded more 
like issues with my transmission mount.  I then read that if my 
modulator was screwy my transmission wouldn't be shifting at the 
right speeds.  I'm having no such trouble.  Also, my transmission 
fluid has never needed filling in the year I've had the car.

I bought a new modulator but couldn't find anyone who would install 
it cause of the adjusments it would require.  My mechanic (who 
wouldn't do it) told me to go to Aamco or摘ng and not to let 
it go... transmission fluid could start leaking into the engine and 
that would be bad.

Well, I didn't go to AAMCO and the modulator is still in its box. Am 
I doing the wrong thing?
