Adjust the setscrew for shift firmness to your satisfaction. You'll have to play with it. Find which way is min and which way is max, then pick your poison. Just remember that the firmer the shift, the more abuse on your diff. Particularly the 1-2 shift for the Series 1.

Very easy to change out. There is one 10mm bolt that holds the modulator on. It takes less than 10 mins to change out. The modulator that you purchased is it an adjustable modulator allowing you to adjust the firmness of the shifts. The adjusting screw should be in the vaccum port.

I personally set my modulator at max. pressure (full clockwise). It made a world of difference, even though my old one wasn't that bad. I'd make sure the engine was moderately cool when you do this, however, because it'* right next to the hot exhaust manifold and crossover pipe. Oh and a bad modulator can DEFINATELY cause extremely slow shifting. I think justin (opensourceguy) had this trouble on his car.

o o aa aaauuuhhhhhh......
wha... did? Hold on, I think... yeah, I just blew it in my pants... twice.
Holy flippin' jeez... WHITE WHINE SHIFTS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Three minutes, and she shifts, LIKE FREAKING NORMAL!!! Maybe a tad firm, so I backed off the set screw a couple turns.
You don't understand, for over a year now, third gear has been useless. I've had to manually shift my automatic transmission. For now, those days are OVER!!!! This is the best 13 dollars I have ever spent, EVER.
Now if you will excuse me, gentlemen, I need a towel.
