I have a 92 RS and it won't shift out of first gear. It goes into reverse and drive fine but it won't get out of first it just keeps reving up. it takes off like normal too. I checked the fluid and the throtle linkage and the kickdown cable and they seem fine. Also my speedometer stop working so i don't know if that would have anything to do with that or not. If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks

 

If this happened all at once, it is the governor gear, broken or stripped. Replace the gear, and your shifts should return.

 

Yeah it happen all at once. I was driving down the street and it just reved up like it went into neutral. I'll look at what you said. Hopefully thats it. Thanks for the help

 

I forgot to ask you how do you check it and if its broken how do you change it?

 

The governor is under the rounded cover, drivers side toward rear of trans. Pry/pop cover off and slide governor out. Gear is on the end of it.
