So we have started out on a 2 week vacation and the transmission will sometimes not shift from first gear. However I can shift it manually by pulling from Drive to second. Shifting back to Drive it will shift to 3rd.

Checked modulator and tubing and that's Ok. Checked the valve the modulator works against and it moves freely. Although I thought I might have felt a slight interference.

Installed a spare governor, but the existing one seems fine.

Seems to be fine when cold, but acts up when it gets up to operating temperature.

Hopefully it will work fine tomorrow, otherwise we will need to decide wether or not to continue.

Will I do any damage to the transmission shifting manually?

Thanks
