Early 1990s W126 had bad clutches installed from factory, causing wear around 100k and slipping.

If you adjust the modulator to tighten up the shift you may well find that the other shifts will be harsh. More probable is a problem in the valve block or a worn clutch. If someone could refresh my memory as to what car and what the problem is I can have a bit of a look at the manual. Hendrik with a slipping memory Loren Faeth wrote: > Check for vacuum leaks.
