reffering to the 3at in my 88 gl wagon..

 

got another good governor in it.. the 1-2 shift is real sloppy.. doesn't rev up between those gears, but it just seems like its slipping into 2nd.. then to get it to shift to 3rd you gotta stomp on it..

 

think this is a funky modulator? wanna get opinions before i go buy one..

doubt its a modulator.

 

are you seeing wierd smelling white smoke out of the exhaust or losing trans fluid? these are tell tale symptoms of a bad mod...

 

its possible that the bad trans governer has done damage to the shaft that it rides on inside of the trans.

well i took it out for a drive.. 30+ miles into town.. after it warmed up and i filled the tranny to full (quart low) it shifts at the right times, but real sluggish...

 

maybe it was just because it was low on fuild and cold still, dunno..

 

no smoke out the tailpipe at all.. but it was low on fluid..

 

only thing that smokes is some little leak on the crossover pipe.. so ya stop at a light and it looks like the car is on fire, lol i think every soob i have ever owned has done this at some point..
