Adjusting tranny vacuum modulator
I noticed that when I looked up the vacuum modulator for my van it read as follows "C-6 ADJ 10.5-13/EDA 1.71 ". What do these numbers mean? I know C-6 is my transmission and I am assuming that adj means that it is adjustable and I noticed that it has a screw type orifice inside which looks like you can adjust it with a small screwdriver. What does this adjustment do? How do you set it? What is EDA? The new modulator seems to be working, but I am just curious about this.

<!--StartFragment -->By turning the adjusting screw (found in the vacuum nipple) counterclockwise, you will lower the spring pre-load. This will cause earlier shifts. By turning the adjusting screw clockwise and raising the spring pre-load, the shift points will go up. The range of adjustability is only a few mph either way.
Stock factory modulators are pre-set and most are sealed.
