    I would have never said anything, but I did notice it a bit myself. Although a little shaking is quite common in all of us. Thanks for the video.

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    My suspicion is the vacuum regulator. Everything seems to checkout except the regulator does nothing even after adjusting to extreme levels. A new vacuum regulator would not be a bad part to have in stock even if the one you have is still good. Not that expensive but you''ll have to make the call.

    M1009 Transmission Questions

    Oh that is simple, once you get the transmission fluid in to where you think the right level is, you carefully drop the pan so you don't spill any fluid, inspect the gauge line and reinstall the pan. Brilliant yeah?

    Maybe just a 90 silicone fitting and cut it down to fit, a small twist in it may still work?

    VRV vacuum regulator valve seems to have become another part not readily available. ACDelco #14057219 is available on eBay for around $65.00. A few other places have them for more money.

    Your vacuum regulator could also be no good. Merry Christmas! Once you verify you have vacuum going to your regulator, then you can check and see if you have vacuum going to your modulator. At that point if it all checks out then you can look at the modulator.

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    You don't need a vacuum gauge block assembly. All you need to do is adjust it, drive it, until you get it right. Get a vacuum gauge and check your vacuum pump. Check all your vacuum hoses, and check your vacuum modulator on the transmission. Pull the vacuum line off the modulator to make sure...

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    The vacuum regulator is on top of the motor attached to the injection pump. It is about a 5 minute job to adjust the regulator. Maybe a new torque convertor is making some kind of difference. Try the adjustment and you can move on from there.

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    It might be your vacuum regulator, loosen the nut on the regulator and move the regulator towards the firewall maybe a 1/2'' to 3/4" and test drive repeat until you like your shift points. I adjust mine at 15 and 30-35 you are almost right there, you don't want soft shift points. There is an...
