So let's get this out of the way first, I'm an idiot. :****: Was trying to find the source of a small trans leak (ptc th400 fmrv) and thought it might have been the plug where the vacuum modulator used to be. So I removed the retainer, wiped it down and waited to see if it leaked. In the meantime, decided to work on the steering so I fired it up to turn the wheel. Just as I shut it off, the modulator plug shot off like a bullet an puked a quart or 2 of trans fluid out.

Found the plug and put it back in. While I was cleaning up I found what turned out to be the modulator valve (thanks google). Some of the pics I saw showed a spring on them. I don't see any laying around but it could be anywhere. Would a manual valve body even use a spring in there? Could anything else have blown out? It's been a fun day to say the least.
 
Pic for comic relief.
