Just start checking and replacing all of your vaccum lines! It's almost easier to replace them all than try to find the one small crack that may be causing the issues. The part that sucks is the ones that go down to the transmission! I would recomend a helper so you have a person on top and bottom and them get yourself a little coupling and attach it to the end of the old hose and the new hose and pull it up through past the trans slowly one at a time. Thats the easiest way to get it accomplished. The hose is cheap its just a pain to to is all.

Do you buy just any old hose to replace the vacuum hoses? Or do you go to a parts store and ask for vehicle specific?

Yeah I know that Advance sells it as "windshield washer and vacuum tubing" The brand is Thermoid. I only know this cause I have a roll sitting here on my desk at work right now cause I need to replace all of my lines as well but since my transmission is coming out in the very near future I will replace mine then!

I should go to the vacuum ball or resivoir I believe! Look for a small nipple that it may fit over either on the ball connected to your hood or in the fender there should be a black box looking thing and that will be your vacuum resivoir.

Edit: I believe yours in in the fender but I could be wrong!
