It sounds like, from reading other posts, that this is limp mode. However, I don't even know if the 190's this early had a limp mode. Can anyone chime in on this?
Thanks.

Your transmission does not have LIMP MODE, its does not have a transmission control module, its non electronic controlled,
Start with this First.
1: Governor gear failure is a common problem with the 722.4 transmission in your car, there are two methods of diagnosing this, install a gauge into the governor test port, driver side front of the transmission, by the bell housing is were the tap is, at 30MPH you should have 20PSI of oil pressure, if you have 0 PSI, the gear is broken or the governor valve is stuck.
2: Remove the governor cover, drivers side rear of the transmission is a round metal cover, tap the cover in then remove the round snap ring, remove the cover, grab the governor and turn CW, it should not move/ turn. If so the gear is broken.
