I can find no vacuum modulator adjustment on my 300D transmission, and
am beginning to think that this must have a mechanical adjustment
somewhere.

I am trying to adjust so that my transmission will shift into fourth
gear.  Now it won't.

Also, I cannot get the kick-down solenoid out of it's receptacle.  I
have sprayed electrical anti-corrosive solvent onto the unit, in hopes
of freeing it.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Not on the driver side? Round thing that may be red, green or black in color
with a rubber cap in the middle? It is closer to the front 1/3 of the
tranny... just above the transmission pan?

As for the kick down switch, pull the carpet out and follow the wire to the
plug and just disconnect it.

I'll look again--always a chance I missed something, as I did not have
the car on the hoist.

I will disconnect the wire on the kick-down switch.
