ugh, that sucks to hear. I hope I have better luck as I'm just about to try putting my new one it. It was a pain in the ass getting the old one out - that is for sure. If you are taking your transmission out - then you are disconnecting the driveshaft entirely, seems like you'd then have then more room to push the tranny to side and attempt to get the new modulator in, no?

If i can't get it in there by hand, I'm thinking about trying my caliper piston spreading tool, as a way to maybe use it between the modulator and side of transmission tunnel to press the new one in. Kinda like an inverse c-clamp that can spread out in some very tight areas.
