Please disconnect the line from the modulator to the amplifier and plug the line (from the amplifer). Connect the Mityvac to the modulator line and pump it up to 15" or so. Run the Mityvac into the cabin so that you can take it for a drive. Drive it and keep the vacuum at 15" (approx.) for the entire test drive.
Report back with result of shift quality.
Brian,
I was hoping that you were still monitoring our TREAD here for I know you are into these W124 models!
I just wish the vacuum diagrams for these W124(s) were more readily available OnLine. By-the-by, my favorite WebSite for such has changed it's name... from: http://www.peterschmid.com/ to http://peterschmidtransmission.com/ .
But there are no W124 model diagrams there !
Does anyone out there know where we can access the W124 Tranny Shifter Vacuum Control diagrams OnLine?

Brian... I have NOT yet found anything to explain something about your "amplifier"... I presume it is a vacuum amplifier?
Can anyone offer an explanation as to what this component is?
Sam
