yep, there was tranny fluid in the vacuum line.

and yeah vile i understand now, but it only did it that one time so im not worried about it that much since the trans was rebuilt not to long ago. and im thinking the little vacuum to the trans may have caused the slipping?

so how would i go about changing the modulator on my transmission? how much would it cost?

thanks -Nic

Should just have one little bolt and retainer u clip holding it in. Just remove clip and PULL straight out the new one " should" have new o ring with it. Can't remember what they cost? I don't think it was to expensive though.

ok so i went out last night to O'Reillys and got one, was like 13bucks, i put it in this morning and i guess it kinda worked. my trans doesnt shift hard now, but it still has the high rpm issue. still a little confused  ??? do i need to adjust the regulator? cuz i know its regulates when the trans shifts.
