1 Try  driving without the vacuum line attached and see if it still  slips


All good suggestions but the symptom of a bad modulator (not necessarily a  
leaking modulator) is a slipping 2-3 shift and no matter what else I did, I  
would replace the modulator if it is original or several years old.  I  think 
the diaphragm gets stiff and freezes the modulator in a bleed  position.
 
My 79 slipped the 2-3 shift for about 5 years and I thought the trans was  on 
it's death bed, until I put a new modulator in.  Now, 10 years  later, it is 
shifting good as new with 264,000 miles on it (knock wood!)!
 
Mobil 1 ATF has been in this trans for the last 100,000 miles, and that  
don't hurt either!
