Tranny Vacuum modulator

I was replacing the hose on the vacuum modulator on my TH400 and it was dripping tranny fluid out of the vacuum hose. Not a lot just a drip. Is the vacuum modulator bad?

Yup,,,,if trans fluid is coming out of the vacume port,the diaphram in the modulator has a hole in it.

You'll find that after you replace it, it will shift a whole lot better and your engine should run smoother also.
