You are correct for 85 or 90 percent of the transmissions being discussed on the forum, but from my experience the modulator plays a larger role on this model of transmission, where there is no control rod or Bowden cable.
With no other control in play, the shift points are controlled by the governor - which on this model is internal and not accessible/adjustable - and the modulator, and the vacuum to the modulator.
