Default transmission adj ?

I have recently replaced all my vacuum lines and still have symptoms of late shift. I have tried locating the adj **** on the tranny shown here in this link but cannot find it.

http://www.mercedesdismantlers.com//722 ... ments.html

any help on where exactly it is located would be greatly appreciated as I still haven't been able to make myself sell it( I am still deploying but pulled her off ebay to continue driving as long as possible, and my even have my dad keep it for me while I am gone)

also I have checked my system and have NO leaks according to my vacuum gauge

-thanks

The link you provided is not working. If you are talking about adjusting the vacuum modulator it is easy. Get needle nose pliers and squeeze the retaining clamp that holds the vacuum cap onto the front of the modulator. Carefully pull the cap off and let it dangle by the vacuum hose. Inside of the modulator you'll see a metal "key." Pull the key out just slightly and rotate it one notch to the left to solve your late shift issue. Reassemble and test drive. If still late shifting repeat process. Never move the key more than one notch at a time before test driving. If adjustments do not providethe results you seek try replacing the vacuum modulator as they do go bad.
