transmission modulator
Where is the transmission modulator located on my 94 awd aero. I have read that if these leak and your engine sucks in fluid you will develop a knock. I have been trieng to pinpoint a mysterious knock on my motor, more like a collapsed lifter noise that goes away when its put in nuetral or park. It's not the tranny.. 600.00 later and parts I didn't need, or the heads, 1.500 later

Yes that was all replaced via the 600 even the tc and starter at the tranny shop. they said it was not in the tranny. Someone suggested that it could be a pilot bearing that fits in the crank?? Thanks for the link.

The automatic transmission does not use a pilot bearing; that's only used with a manual transmission to support the nose of the input shaft.
Did you try using an engine stethescope or a short length of hose to try to localize the noise?
