TH-400 Vaccum Modulator
I have a stock TH-400 in my '65 Delta 88 w/ a 425, I was reading about a way to adjust the modulator and I was wondering how to go about it? Is there a screw inside where the vaccum hose goes? or is there another screw on the outside of the modulator?
Thanks

I'm no tranny expert but the big original one I have on my '71 Vista with a Turbo 400 has an adjusting screw on the end and the hose connects on the side. The smaller new replacement type with the vac fitting coming straight out the end I have on another car has a little screw inside the vacuum fitting to adjust it. I seem to remember that there was an instruction sheet in the box that showed how to adjust it with a small flat bladed screwdriver.

Stock factory modulators are pre-set and most are sealed. If you do have an adjustable one however,
turning the adjusting screw (found in the vacuum nipple) counterclockwise, you will lower the spring pre-load. This will cause earlier shifts. By turning the adjusting screw clockwise and raising the spring pre-load, the shift points will go up. The range of adjustability is only a few mph either way.

Vacuum Modulator
The Vacuum Modulator controls the modulator valve which raises or lowers modulator pressure. The Modulator pressure will then effect both the line pressure and the governor shift point.
