Transmission modulator location for 1987 300D

I have to be looking in the wrong spot, either that or I am blind! Just got done looking for over 5 min underneath the car on the drivers side of the tranny trying to locate the modulator. Does anyone have a picture of the location?
Too bad the Mercedes does not have a clear cut reference and schematics guide like the BMW at realoem.com

Blackie, just follow a black vacuum line that goes from the ip down in to the tranny, it goes to it, you cant miss it, 1st have a look on top then follow it under the car, sort of in front of the pan i believe on the 87, you cant miss it if you follow the line going into it.

Maybe Mercedes techs are assumed to be more knowledgable?

FOUND IT!
The piece of insulation got loose and hid the modulator, so I could not see it at all from the bottom, followed the advice about the vaccum line and found it.
