Just let me say, I am glad that Doctor Wally enjoys my company. We were two greasy animals after yesterday's work on the transmission. Thanks to everyone who called or sent emails trying to help me figure this thing out.
First, I drained fluid, it was good. Took the cooling lines off and blew them out. Put fluid back in and the lines on. Checked the two flexible tubes, top and bottom, on the vacuum line with a vacuum gun. They were good. Blew out the metal vacuum tube. We bypassed the tube and ran a rubber vacuum line in its place. None of that solved any problems. We teed the vacuum line, at bottom, and put a vacuum gauge on it to see what the vacuum was there. Pulled out modulator to make sure we had proper level of fluid, we did. We put vacuum on the modulator to make sure it would move, it did. Adjusted the shift linkage 3 times and finally got it correct. Ran down the road with the vacuum and a pressure gauge to watch. Then we checked the pressure sitting still, after warm up. Everything good. Still had the problem.
Last, we took governor out and compared it to one Wally brought. All we could tell were the springs were different colors. One was green and one was yellow. Then we stuck the governor in that Wally brought. Took it on a 25 mile run and it was fixed. Not believing that, today we took Teri on a 125 mile geocache trip and the dang thing worked perfect.
What can I say? We did actually have Manny on speed dial.
The problem was that the thing would kick down into second gear while we were just cruising at the speed limit with normal vacuum at 15 inches or above. It kept getting more frequent as time went on. I could not get it back into 3rd no matter what I did. It "freewheeled" in second like it was in neutral when I let off the pedal. If I pulled it down to second I had engine braking.
Folks have called and emailed to see if we got it fixed. I did not want to post until our run today was a success.
Life is once again good in the Gregg driveway.
