1 Try driving without the vacuum line attached and see if it still slips All good suggestions but the symptom of a bad modulator (not necessarily a leaking modulator) is a slipping 2-3 shift and no matter what else I did, I would replace the modulator if it is original or several years old. I think the diaphragm gets stiff and freezes the modulator in a bleed position. My 79 slipped the 2-3 shift for about 5 years and I thought the trans was on it's death bed, until I put a new modulator in. Now, 10 years later, it is shifting good as new with 264,000 miles on it (knock wood!)! Mobil 1 ATF has been in this trans for the last 100,000 miles, and that don't hurt either!
