It is most likely that the vacuum modulator on your AT was replaced at some point and never adjusted as it should have been. This adjustment is well covered in the Bentley manual. You should start by verifying that the VM is properly hooked up and that it is not leaking fluid (see if the hose is filled with red ATF.) If that all appears fine, consider going thru the adjustment proceedure. If you don't have the tools necessary, try turning the adjustment screw in one turn then take it for a drive. See if that helps and then repeat until you get to someplace that seems better. This will take a while. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
