For future reference, the modulator is on the right side of the
transmission, just behind the bellhousing. The vacuum line is
attached there, but it is a lot easier to detach the line under the
hood for testing. You just have to find the line that goes to the
right side of the car and down under. You also have a cable
adjustment that will affect shifting if it is out of adjustment.

then you need to tighten up the little bolt on the side of the
tranny for the reverse band. Wacko can tell you how to do that.

I should have mentioned that it is only slipping in Reverse. All
forward gears are working as they have since I have had this car.
Had my son crawl under it last night and got the tranny number
722.118 and I have not seen any vacuum connections.
thanks. Douglas

I have hhad the tranny slipping for a few weeks now changed the
fluid and put in the conditioner but still slips. Went to the
local indy and they said to replace it, it would be $4300. I took
it to Aamco and they started with the story to rebuild it. Though
they to came back a day later with replacing it for $3500.
