I believe the official name for the valve that controls the vacuum applied to
the transmission modulator (controlling shift harshness/slippage) is vacuum

at it. Has anyone ever heard of this?

if they've gotten filled with oil. Perhaps
The switch often fails if oil gets into the line from a bad shutoff
valve.
We had to replace the one on my brother's 76 W115, so it's not

Plug the feed to the yellow line under the hood. That's
the lock system.

There is a serious vacuum leak somewhere, but the front door locks check
out OK. I replaced the fuel door servo this summer. Could a breach in the
trunk lock servo have the effect of preventing the vehicle from shutting
