When a modulator starts to leak, the symptoms are smoke and disappearing 
atf.
A modulator can also affect shifting (too hard, too soft) but that 
doesn't necessarily happen when it leaks.

There was a recent discussion (vv or fastvair, I forget) regarding 
modulators and shifting behavior.
My summary would be: if it shifts ok now, it should also shift ok after 
swapping the modulator.
If it shifts differently, either the new one is bad, or it's adjustable 
and the initial setting is off.

cheers
