The adjustment of the modulator is in the link that I provided you. The modulator is set according to pump pressures of a particular model. From when I replaced mine, I recall the pressure reading should be 40.

But, just tweaking the modulator is not going to resolve this. You need to ensure the vacuum control valve at the IP is set properly. As reported in that link, if rack movement doesn't coincide with the proper range of vacuum, the shifts will either be rough and too soon or result in flaring.
