Curly,
Mark didn't say whether I had too much or too little vac. With no vacuum to the
transmission modulator, it shifts good. So that would seem like too much vacuum
when connected.

LT Don! Welcome back, and yes, car questions get answered, after politics,
guns, food, culture, etc have been beaten into the ground.
Sounds to me like you've got three options: leak in brake booster, leak at seal
between master cylinder and brake booster, or failed vacuum pump.
Isolate vacuum
LT Don's question got me thinking... Dangerous I know.
My '98 Jetta's brake booster has a leak, its been squeaking at me for awhile
now. First thing in the morning if you step on the brake it'll make a noise a
lot like letting the air out of a balloon while squeezing the neck of the
balloon.
Next thing, Rusty is going to chime in and let us know he can get Don a new
vacuum pump in about two days for fifty bucks.
