I tried this, and it worked exactly as described. When I pulled the hose 
off, the engine got slower, and I could feel and hear the suction. When I 
put my finger over the hose, the engine speeded up again.

Does this mean the vacuum modulator is OK?

Here is a pic of my vacuum modulator on the tranny.

The inner part, which I assume is the adjuster, is protruding slightly, is 
this usual? Could it need adjusting? If so, why did it work so well up to 
now?
