Hemikiller Gearhead Posts: 404 From: Clinton, CT Registered: Feb 2002	posted 01-16-2003 07:19 AM The Vacuum modulator supplies the tranny with the info about the load your car is under. With the modulator disconnected, it will assume, with 0 vacuum present, that you have the pedal to the metal, and will shift on the governor. This could be anywhere from 4500 rpms to 6000 rpms, depending on the governor settings. IP: Logged
