hello fellow enthusiasts im having problems with my transmission shifting late in drive or overdrive i think it has a 700r4, i have already readjusted the TV cable and fluid is correct operating level and clean it does not feel like its slipping and does not shift hard any other suggestions?

 

Which gears are affected?

 

1st to 2nd and 2nd to drive

 

MAybe a problem with the governor.

 

how hard is that to replace? what do i need to do?

helpful?

 

ya kinda, the shift speeds are controlled by the weights? more weight earlier shifts? how do you remove these from the trans

 

There was a link in that thread with more detail. It's under a dome shaped cover on the side of the transmission.

thanks ill check it out. but i was thinking if maybe the previous owner added less weights to the governor to increase the shift points already. if this is true would i hurt anything if i just use the car for everyday driving? it has a high way gear in the differential so that lead me to believe somebody altered the shift points. all i know right now is the car is fast lol, and it goes through the gears alittle quicker when i punch it (WOT)

 

 

???????

 

Never seen Blazing Saddles eh??

GOV is short for.... wait for it,...... waaaait....... governor..

Jeeze, kids these days are missn out on the classics

 

nope never saw Blazing Saddles. i figured the "GOV" on the guys coat meant governor especially since this thread is discussing the governor in a transmission im 28

 

ok update: the transmission shifts fine from first to second but when it shifts from second to drive it shifts at like 2000 which i know something is wrong any suggestions?
