Re: trans problem or not?
Almost sounds like the plastic gear sheared off the governor. There is a round metal cover on the left (driver) side of the transmission. Carefully pry it off and pull out the govenor. There is a gear on there held on with a roll pin, if it's trashed get a new one from GM.
