Thumbs down exactly what I expected - SOMETHING ELSE THATS BROKEN $%#&%

hey all,

to continue the comedy of errors that is my 82 300DT's tranny, I pulled my modulator to find the thing that sits behind it has a broken plastic arm thingie...once again look at the pics (you can see dead VCV parts in the background) i am fairly sure i did not break this, i followed all the guidlines for taking this thing out...

the modulator has been pulled before on my car, and re-installed poorly. the body of it was filthy, and there was some of the rubber transmission frame cover removed to be able to sneak the modulator out. some freestyle wrenching for sure...


So....folks who have some mileage in this area, can you get me a PN for the red thing so I can get it from FastLane. can I replace this thing easily? The answer has to be yes, its plastic...

All additional guidance greatly in this area appreciated...

This is now reaching ridiculous...but I will conquer it...
(Im still having a lot of fun working on it...)
