That is a good sign because the modulator can hold vacuum right? Well my next question is how in the world my hand is supposed to fit and get to the modulator to change the old vacuum line?
2. I got called in to work and I had to quit for the day. Eager I hooked everything back up and took off. I did see improvement shifting, all shifts are really nice and crisp except 3rd(really wimpy and soft like always).
No more HARD banging shifts in 2nd!!! Well coming to a stop sign shifting from 2nd to 1st it SHOOKED really hard just like before.
What I don't understand is that sometimes when it downshifts from 2 to 1(10mph less) it does jerk really hard and sometimes it doesn't!!
What should I be checking next???
Ohh...I also discovered I got a tiny oil leak while I was under the car today. It won't leak while it's running/idle?? Only after it sits for 10 min??I can't locate the leak bc it looks dirty as is under the engine. Any ideas/suggestions?

I have no confidence in your temporary fix. When you properly replace the vacuum line from the vacuum transducer to the modulator, we can go forward. Until then, who knows if it's holding vacuum more than a few minutes. I may have worked for 10 minutes and failed again.
Since this line is compromised, it's likely that most of your vacuum lines are NFG. A vehicle of this age requires all of those lines to be replaced otherwise you'll never fix your issues.
