The vacuum modulator is a vital component of automatic transmissions. It tells the transmission what kind of load is being put on it, allowing the transmission to react with the proper line pressures and shift points. Over time, modulators can develop leaks, suffer ruptured diaphragms, become bent, etc. Not only can this cause annoying drivability issues, but it can also lead to premature transmission failure.

• Allows you to fine-tune your shift points and shift feel.
