I read that the governor in the transmission builds pressure with centrifugal force in a gradual proportion as the speed of the tranny increases.

Now I would think that would mean that if the governor was not building enough pressure at say 3000rpm in order to shift from 1st to 2nd then it would also not have enough pressure at 3000rpm to shift from 2nd to 3rd.

Is that correct?

If the governor is failing will the transmission shift at all?

Anyone want to trade an old Volvo for an '87 300sdl?
