I broke this plastic tee today trying to get the hose off to take a vacuum reading. I started the engine but it won't shut off. I pushed the broken tee to seal and the engine shut off. Not knowing what other problems this will cause I got creative. I tapped the broken tee with a 1/4 -20 tap (after drilling out with tap drill). I machined a nylon adapter on a lathe with 1/4-20 die and threaded it in the newly tapped tee and connected the hose and all's back to normal.
I want to see if I can make the transmission shift better. It flares sometimes starting from a standstill and jerks forward. It also makes a pronounced clunk coming to a stop. Are these signs of vacuum problems to the transmission vac modulator?
