Auto Parts: transmission modulator, vacuum modulator, billiard ball

Question
Could you please tell me location of transmission modulator on 1992 chevvy beretta

Answer
Hi Kimberly,

Open the hood. While facing the rear of the car, center yourself just right of the center line of the vehicle. Between the left healight and the front license plate holder.

Take notice to the rear of the engine where the transmission bellhousing bolts to. Follow the split between the engine and bellhousing downward about six inches you should see a large (possibly the size of a billiard ball), round metal object attached to the side of the transmission with one or two vacuum lines attached to it. That is the vacuum modulator valve assembly.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
