Well today on my way to work my transmission wouldn't shift. I had a 700R4 tranny that was rebuilt 3-4 years ago. I backed out of the driveway and when I put it in drive and got to around 10-15 mph. I was waiting for it to shift but the rpm's just kept climbing I pulled a u-turn then went back to my house. I didn't really get a chance to check it out since I was late for work. I just got home and wanted to know what the problem could be and what I should look for tommorow.

When I was coming back to my driveway I put the car in nuetral and revved it up just to make sure I wasn't in second gear or something. My car was fine on Tuesday. I put a new thermostat in yesterday but didn't drive it so this happened out of the blue. I put a new filter/fluid in about 3 months ago and adjusted the tv cable about 2 weeks ago. I will check the fluid tommorow just to be safe. I hope its an easy fix

 

I just warmed the car up and checked the fluid, it was good. I jacked the car up and checked the tranny just to make sure connections were nice and tight. everything looked good as far as I could tell.

 

Got my replacement governor gear in the mail today. So I took the governor assembly out and it is infact the governor gear. Like half of it is gone Do I need to worry about the chunk missing? I don't see how be able to check around for it in such little space. Or do I just need to do a filter & fluid change and be done with it? And to get the gear off all I need to do is take that metal pin out and then I should be able to pull the gear off?

 

Do not be concerned with the pieces left behind, nothing will happen. Remove the pin, install new gear, drill through the gear with a .125" drill, install new pin, blow off everything with air, put some oil on the governor, install the cover with a new seal (no sealer) by tapping on the outside of the cover (not in the middle), your done.

 

Just what I needed I got the new one in and all is good now
