It T's in the Brake Booster Line. The "T" should have came with the vacuum modulator.

T off of the power brake line and hook your transmission line to it. The vacume modulaton for a 4l60 comes from transgo.

It controls line pressure based on vacuum, instead of the pcm.

What do you set the pressures to, and how do you set it.

It is supposed to bypass the electronic pressure controls to give you quicker pressure rise

The EPC solenoid (force motor) has a preset of about 170-180 psi of main line pressure at WOT in the "D" position. When using the Trans-Go modulator, and the Trans-Go main boost valve, and you install the modulator pin "as is" (no grinding), it will put out about 220-235 psi at WOT in the "D" position. This can give you a much longer 3-4 clutch life. It also allows for a much faster downshift than its computer controlled couterpart.
