Transmission Fluid In Vacuum Line

I changed the oil today, and while getting at the filter housing, I disconnected the vacuum line from the top of the VCV and noticed that it was wet with ATF. I assume this means the diaphragm in my modulator has given up the ghost.

I see two are available. Old style for $25, and upgraded for $55. Has anyone installed the "upgraded" version? Any tips or tricks to adjusting the new unit? Thanks!

This appears to be an "old style", same number but listed for Porsche.
Strange.

A German transmission in a Porsche? Imagine that.

When you order that new modulator, I suggest that you order a new pin as well. They are easy to break on removal.
