It could be that the linkage is set to where it is actually leaking out and never passing any vacuum. Then check the hard plastic vac line dropping down to side of tranny. Pull vac on it to see if it holds. Be prepared to replace rubber fitting at modulator, you'll understand when you get there. Think constant bombardment from anything escaping the engine bay and also anyything kicked up from the road along with the usual suspects, heat and age and whatnot.
NCKMSN - Did you at least read through the first link above. If this clicks the rest is icing.

Yes I did read throught the link. I ended up removing the vcv and added vac to it with the cam in all positions. It leaks in all position too much for any vac to go to the transmission. I am now going to the local vintage mercedes junkyard to buy another vcv for $10.
