Well, after a lot of reading and research and phone calls, it apears as though my transmissions high speed governor is sticking. It's a $20 item, and I don't have to remove the trans to change it (just the tail housing). Unfortunetly, I can't get the part for several days. So, I will not be running at the track tonight, just watching. Oh well, at least I haven't fried the clutches yet.

The guy at Baumann Engineering said that they see it happen every now and again. He said that it's most commonly a small peice of casting that came loose somewhere, or a build up of particals. Sometimes when a trans is "rebuilt" they don't replace the govenor either so it could have a lot of miles on it. I'm not sure, I really don't quite understand how it works yet either...  Transmissions are all new to me! |

I wonder if you have a situation where you could pull the part and run a bit of scotchbrite on the part to get it moving around in there again?

Well I pulled the govenor out, and it did appear to be slightly gooped up. I replaced it with another one I had. Replacement caused a speratic result. At first it wasn't shifting right, then it did start shifting right, then stoped shifting right. Ugh. Next step is to take the valve body out and clean it very well. Somewhere in this thing is a valve that is hanging up. I'm getting sick of spending every afternoon working on this thing, but I'll get it and things will be good.... for a day or two . |
