My bet is on the bit that has been removed and replaced => the governor.

My limited understanding of these transmissions leads me to think that the governor would be better off being called the "manager" (or think of it as old fashioned English slang where the boss / manager was often called "governor" or if you're from Northern England "Gov'ner").

Anyway if you look through all of the faults with shifting remedies in the ATSG manual you'll see governor as a possible problem area for (virtually?) every fault.

I think if the governor doesn't work; the fluid (at pressure) doesn't get directed correctly. I think it goes to failure mode where nothing or little is allowed to engage.
