and have not been able to find a place that sells a governor. so i was wondering if that is the true name of it or just what you guys call it thank you. im just trying to get a price of the part

 

Well I'm thinking are you looking for a gov-loc differential perhaps? The governer is built into the computer to limit speed but I don't think that is what you are actually after.

 

They're $44 from transmissioncenter.net. What's wrong with your governor? You don't have a local transmission shop to call? No GM dealer?

 

idk if thats the problem but i want to be ready for it because ive had trouble with shifting at wot adjusted the tv cable so many times to no luck. but is that what its called governer because i looking in classic industries under the tranny section and they had nothing

and after calling a dealer looking for a tv cable and they told me discontinued and cant get it why would they have the "governer"

and ive been looking on the internet and i would type in 1990 camaro 3.1 v6 governor and get nothing

 

thats what i thought to but these kind people told me its something with the tranny thats got to do with shifting

 

The TV cable isn't for making shift timing adjustments, set it where it needs to be and leave it alone.

What trouble do you have with WOT shifting?

 

i posted saying my car wont **** at WOT so they say adjust tv cable did that made it worse then it was before


but my problem was that it wont shift out of first at wot it just happend randomly car was working fine perfect bought it about 150 miles down the rd started it up one day and that problem happened

right now im waiting for the tv cable to come to replace that

i snapped the plastic piece adjusting it.. stupid me for doing it away from my house drove it home about 10mins with it messed up and stalling..i ziptied and taped it onto the throttle but i adjusted away from my house because it kept stalling on me..

 

and i cant find the governor on that link

 

 

what about manikie would they beable to get it... cant tell you anything about the rpms considering it dont work and it sits all the way past redline. but it wouldnt shift unless i let up on the throttle... there was like no power at WOT

 

http://www.transmissioncenter.net/pe...tive.htm#Parts Search the page for #43

 

and thats the governer? if not what does that do?

 

No, 43 is a kit to let you raise the shift points. Look at 43G. That's a 5200 rpm governor for $44.

 

Right: #43 is the kit of weights and springs to tune a governor.

Odds are, if you buy a #43G, you'll see that it will come with a few of the parts in a #43 in it; and then, even though ot might (or might not?) be any better than whatever you've got now, you'll still have to buy a whole #43 to get it just exactly like you want it.

 

But the kit won't let you reduce the rpm of the shifts. The kit is good if you buy a new "diesel" governor, Sonnax makes them. Those are for the '82-'89 6.2L diesel / 700R-4 pickups, they shift at 3600-3800 RPM.
Now, if your governor gives 5200 with a 3.42:1, but you use a 3.23:1, it may give 5000 instead.
And there's another thing that affects your results: the line pressure. If you install a shift kit that includes a stiffer spring to regulate pressure, then your 5000 governor may give 5500 with the extra, new, pressure.
5200 is just about right for a stock 2.8L.

 

So their site has lies?
Or do you think the stiffest springs and lightest weights are what was installed in the TPI Vette 700-R4?

So is drilling to reduce weight out of the weights or going with stiffer spring(s).

 

The kit doesn't include heavier weights than stock. Thus, it can't reduce the shift RPM. The only way to make weights heavier than stock is careful welding.
Some stock weights have lightening holes. The "diesel" weights don't.

 

No response to my first two questions?
That would be what stronger springs are for.
Nor do they need to in order to be lightened.
