I would advise people from using used governor gears as most have seen the
life.
Plastic type component in a transmision in a motor home i going to see
higher temperature and they disintegrate.
New ones are available, so it would be best to get new.



JimK - I believe they are referring to the entire governor assembly. You make a good point however that used governors should get a new gear installed. This includes used governors carried as spares. Easier to install this gear at home rather than on the road.

Mickey - the cover is a part of the governor assembly and cannot be removed without some cutting of the metal cover. It all comes out as one piece, floppy cover and all. (this is one of the things that makes working on these a bit of a problem.)
