PeachPartsWiki: Transmission Vacuum Modulator Adjustment
I say just adjust it to taste...as long as taste isn't soft/mushy shifts that are caused by a Lack of pressure.

My typical with every new modulator is give it @ least 1 full turn clockwise...if the transmission is having Issues/slipping or otherwise worn I give it 3 full turns (3 lbs of pressure for each full, 360 degree turn).

Leave the white cap off, keep the T bar Safe so you can make more adjustments with out Fighting after you test drive.

Nice crisp, positive shifts make for a happy, long lived transmission.
