Transmission help
Hi All,
I recently had what appears to be a vacuum sensor plug come out of my transmission on the passenger side and dumped all my fluid out, I can get it back in but I feel as if there should be some sort of retaining clip on in to hold it in place which I cannot find. Am I correct, and if so, can anyone tell me the part I am looking for? My trans is a 350. Thanks!

Sounds like your vacuum modulator popped out. There is a retainer for it and the place where the 5/16x18 bolt (1/2 head) screws into the trans case (aluminum casting) has broken. You can buy a bracket to remedy this situation.

These use an extension housing bolt to hold the mod in place, and should be available from many places, I linked this one to show what I'm referring to.
I see your in Brown Deer, I'm in Menomonee Falls and work at a trans shop in Waukesha. Let me know if you need any help.

Have you been to the Olds Club of America 2015 Nationals? If not, you best be on your way! They're being held a the Sheraton Hotel on 375 S Moorland Rd, immediately South of Brookfield Square. Going on through tomorrow the 26th. Too bad our Olds' are awaiting repairs. I was there Thurs night for a few hours, well worth your while!

I could not have made it anyhow as I was working.
On another note, I am currently reinstalling the vacuum modulator and I came across this two prong electrical connector that I cannot find a home for that is hanging directly behind (toward the motor)of the vacuum modulator port. Any help on this?
