ADAL banjo bolt, washers, and fitting?

[CenCalBenz]

Does anyone know the thread size and pitch for the banjo bolt that is needed for the Transmission Vacuum Modulator Adjustment procedure?

I cant find a car that would have one in the junk yards around here and i have been looking for sometime. It would be so awesome if i could get my car shifting perfectly for daily driving!

By the way, to avoid confusing anyone, i have a 722.xxx trans in my 300d. I cant remember specifically which one, but it is vacuum controlled rather than the earlier kick down bar control. I can post pics of how i rigged up the VCV if anyone wants to see that. The car had the trans in it when i bought it. There were no trans controls what so ever either.

thanks

Actually, I "borrowed" the ALDA bolt and banjo bolt, temporarily, then cleaned and reinstalled it when I finished the procedure. I'm not sure if your car has the same set up.

No such luck. I have no ALDA on my engine. Although that is a good idea.

Without trying to confuse or persuade you, it is my personal experience that setting the factory pressure in this method is mostly a waste of time.

I have had excellent results by setting all the linkages, vacuum valve settings, TV cable setting first to factory spec. Then adjusting the modulator by feel in a trial and error mode along with the linkage / TV cable setting.

Factory vacuum settings and a healthy vacuum system are the first step and should not change.

I am about to just throw the new vacuum modulator that I bought for it a while back and wing it. I discovered that its to tight for a cresent wrench to fit in there. The biggest wrench I have is 19mm. Anyone recall what size wrench it took to take out the vacuum modulator. FYI i have the red type vacuum modulator.
