Does any one know where the modulator is set at from the factory? like so many turns clock wise? I installed a used trans in a 300D that i bought. in the process of trying to get it to shift right I lost track of how many times I turned the modulator.I know your suppose to keep track of that. I ended up replacing the switchs on the valve cover and now I would like to get the modulator back to the orginal setting and start from there again.I`ve got it to shift better but it`s still not right. Shifts to late. Thank`s Rick

The modulator is set with a pressure gauge on the port adjacent to the adjustment knob.

ok so do you know what the pressure should be ?

I don't know it offhand. But, there's some data about it on the forum somewhere.

ok thank`s for the reply .I`ll check around for it thank`s .Rick

If its shifting late, turn the bowden cable out 1 turn to make it shift earlier.

there is no bowden cable on this year.

should be something around 3 bar, vac hose unplugged, idle in P.
Let me know your tranny# I'll check tonight.

ok here are 2 different #`s I got off it passengerside 000 304 08 90 or driverside R115 271 45 01

ok do I just hook the gauge up the modulator? or do I use the port adjacent to the adjustment knob . I don`t know where that is what adjustment knob ? are you talking about the modulator it`s self? can I use my mighty vac for this or am I going to have get a different gauge? Thank`s Rick

here is the right # 722 118

Ideling in P (warmed up), vac line unplugged should give the 3.0 bar (for the USA version).
On the 1st scan the upper tranny is yours.
This is hydraulic pressure. Unscrew the plug (M8x1) near the modulator and attach the hollow screw with gauge.
The 3rd scan is for the 722.3 tranny and uses the lower tranny for locating the ports, just in case someone else might use this.

Does any one know where I can get the hollow screw with the gauge?

its similar to the fuel line connection to the fuel filter but smaller (M8x1).
I got mine from automatic lubrication stuff of machines or trucks.
The gauge is pneumatic stuff.

I believe you can use the hollow screw into the ALDA!
