I have same rapid upshift symptom, regardless of cable adjustment so it seems

The mechanic who changed it was right about it being disconnected but now that it IS connected and I still have the rapid upshift symptom, ATSG points to the governor pressure being too high

I posted the other day asking about how to check that pressure, I dk if it's even possible


This weekend I'm going to go over everything again from linkage to modulator pressure and vac, see what I can see
checking is possible, the port is on the same side of the transmission that has the bowden cable, the test pressures are about 1/2 to 3/4 driving speed in mph.

meaning 30 mph would be between 15 and 20 psi. I dont get how the governor can fail with increased pressure, I have seen the exact opposite, I have seen a governor gear completely sheared off, but that was a toyota RWD auto.
