Go to your local auto parts store and look in the HELP! section. It is in a green box, HELP! #47150.

 

This is how it NEEDS to be installed:

Put it in your mouth and suck :lol: on it. The end you can pull air thru

goes to the vacuum supply. The other end(s) go to accessories.

no.... not on a TGP. regular car, yes.

 

 

this is a vent. it prevents the vacuum modulator from seeing boost by venting positive pressure. and it is not enough to let all the boost out :lol:

 

the end you can suck air out of hangs loose. the other side goes to a rubber T that links to the modulator and the steel feed line.

the tv cable needs to be adjusted. just press in the black square button next to the tb bracket kind of behind the plenum with a screwdriver or something while turning the linkage wide open and it should adjust it out to where you see the little teeth.

 

if done right this should make the tranny shift sooner. is your motor mount blown out too? does the motor wobble around when you shift from r to d and back with your foot on the brake?
