es, drivable in first gear only. W

With vacuum removed the modulator thinks that you have your foot full throttle and it delays shifting to second until you reach some high RPM. Maybe 4500 or 5000 RPM. I have never tried it.

I fail to understand your hesitancy to fix the problem if it is indeed leaking. It is a simple one bolt removal to change it. You can slide under it and remove the bolt and hose. Then pull the modulator out. If you need more room drive up on something with the right front wheel only. I removed one in a parking lot in Nevada one time by simply driving up on a curb in a store parking lot.
