Using your VIN number to order with will get you the correct modulator for your car. Plain and simple...Forget all this color business.still need to know which colour modulator to buy ???

hi@MAYFAIR, if you're still planning on doing the ATF oil and filter swap then Mobil D/M might be a cheaper alternative. I've found it here in the states for ~$18 per case of 6:

Find Mobil ATF D/M and get Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing! Mobil ATF D/M automatic transmission fluid provides excellent oxidation and friction stability, anti-wear properties, and low-temperaturwww.summitracing.com
but I don't know if you will get killed with shipping. Maybe a local UK supplier has the same for a decent price.
hi thanks for advice -- my plan is to turn down the modulator and if instant improvement - great ,at that point will replace the module -if stays the same will follow your advice and then replace the vac lines and joints withYour inconsistent shifts have me wondering if your problem is with the vacuum line. Would be well worth it to replace every vacuum line that it shares vacuum with as they may look ok but leak.
It is true that cold trans fluid is thicker but because of the cold the trans pump is pumping less fluid than when it’s warm so it’s not clear cut.
If the car can shift ok under some conditions then I’d almost completely rule out the transmission itself & focus entirely on transmission shift control. If you know the fluid is of the right type, looks ok, and is at the right level after a full 20 min warmup then it’s unlikely to be causing intermittent shift issues as well.
Just my .02, worth what you paid
