I'm working on my 86 AT. I looked at the governor, and was surprised by its small size and simplicity. How does this thing work? It looks like the only moving parts are the weights which simply operate a couple of check ball looking valves. I expected something that would provide variable input to the trans about output shaft speed, and I can't see how this gadget would do that. The other question I have is about the seals I need to replace that cause the ATF and final drive gear oil to mix when they fail. Where are they? Edward |
