OK, picked up the NAPA trans module and installed it this morning. Took her for a ride and nothing changed (*%&$ !!!!).
So, originally, I had about 15hg at the rubber hose at the trans. I did notice that the needle on the vacuum gauge bounced around quite a bit, but I am not a master mechanic and didn't pay too much attention to it. After I got done screwing around with everything and making some adjustments, I rechecked and adjusted vacuum to the recommended (TM) 8hg at the vacuum regulator. Checked all connections and everything was normal, but the vacuum gauge, at the trans module connection, bounced around........a lot !
So after I swapped out the trans module I took her for a test drive this morning and, as above, nothing changed. So I rechecked every vacuum connection I have (there aren't many) and now there is ZERO vacuum at the bottom connection of the Vacuum Regulator !! WTF !!! I am thinking the the Vacuum Regulator failed! I am about to put a spike through her oil pan !!
Anyway, I am now on the hunt for an Automatic Transmission Vacuum Regulator Valve. Anyone know where I can get one, or even what the correct part number for this part is ???
Thanks.
