Stake it down???? what language does thou speak. What do you mean by "stake"

I did torque it to 120NM per the manual. And hamered the nut into the "opening" to lock it in. Everything else in the tranny is Ok, I think

Larry, and all

I checked the vacuum on the modulator. It held vacuum for about 10-15 seconds which should be fine for shifting.
I'm using Steve Brotherton's article on tranny adjustment.

Did this after I checked the vacuum going to the tranny. Only 3-5 inches of vacuum, should be 15". I traced all the way back thru the vavle cover airswitches and hoses. The vacuum comming out of the Inj. Pump Vacuum Valve is not correct. Only 3-5 inches. So that is where my proplem is. 22 inches coming out of the vacuum pump "T" at the booster hose. I have tried to adjust the injection pump vacuum valve but can not get much change out of it. I will try to clean it since it is $162 for a new one. Don't know if I can use brake cleaner solvent to "clean it" I'm sure I probably got it dirty when I pressure washed the car.
