NO. You need to REPLACE the modulator valve and the rubber hose. That's it.
If a vacuum modulator has fluid in the vacuum port, it has failed and should be replaced.
There should be an o-ring where the modulator is inserted into the transmission. There should be no fluid where the vacuum line attaches, if so the modulator is bad.
the vacuum modulator can be bad. With the engine OFF, remove the vacuum line at the modulator. If fluid runs out, there's your problem.
When the vacuum from the engine sucks in transmission fluid from the bad modulator and shows up as heavy blue smoke out the exhaust.
Jack up and support the rear of the car to minimize fluid loss. Remove vacuum hose from modulator. Remove bolt and retaining clip from under modulator. Remove modulator by pulling straight out. Install new modulator with new o-ring, replace clip and bolt and vacuum hose.
If your car has one, take the vacuum line to the modulator off and if there is fluid inside, the modulator is bad.
Remove the vacuum hose from the modulator valve. If you see any fluid in the valve or the hose, it is defective.
i would check the vacuum hose that goes to the vacuum modulator on the transmission the vacuum modulator probably has a hole in it and the fluid is going into the engine and being burned or check your coolant the radiator may have a hole in the transmission cooler inside the radiator so check your coolant and the vacuum hose for trans fluid good luck
Not in the vacuum line.
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe it can if the automatic transmission uses a modulator valve that has a vacuum line connected to it because the vacuum comes from the engine . If there is a problem with the modulator valve then the transmission fluid could be sucked into the engine
Yes, this really can happen. The transmission modulator ruptures and vacuum system system draws out trans fluid into engine oil thru vacuum pump into engine crankcase. Been there, done that. I replaced the modulator valve and dropped engine oil.
Yes, check the vacuum line between the transmission and the throttle body. If you can see ANY sign of oil in the vacuum line, the vacuum modulator is leaking. Of course, all of that is dependant upon YOUR transmission having a vacuum modulator. Some do, some don't. Generally, they are quite simple to replace, so long as you keep everything clean.
