Turning the VM modulator adjustment CW should move the upshift points upwards. If adjusting it doesn't seem to have any effect, it is possible that the VM is damaged. VW says that if the VM can gets bent then they won't function right, and it'e easy for these to get bent if the AT is removed because of where it is mounted. I find that the screw is generally recessed quite a bit. It's actually pretty easy to adjust these by the book if you have a suitable pressure gauge. Once you install the gauge the adjustment is simple. The Bentely manual has the details. Exactly when is it that you feel a clunk? Upshift or down? 1 to 2, or 2 to 3? > The VM hose is 1/4 fuel line. Is this correct? Anything that fits is fine here. I suspect that the original was 7mm or 7.5mm ID, which is right in between 1/4" and 5/16". -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
