From what I've learned from working on my 722.418, the secondary pump on the transmission can seize up and cause problems. On my 418 this might have been the cause of my governor gears breaking, or it could have just been age. I'm not 100% sure. The 418 design used plastic gears, I believe you have a 400 series in there as well so, maybe you have plastic too. My first problem was the loss of 2,3,4th gears as a result of governor. My second problem was the governor popping out of its bore.
Summary of what I did:
-drop the back half of the transmission
-drop the exhaust
-drop driveshaft
-remove governor bore cover
-pull out governor
-replace governor plastic gear
-remove tailshaft cover
-replace plastic gear on output shaft
-collect old gear parts
-reassemble tailshaft assembly
-reinstall governor
-reattach driveshaft, exhaust, transmission
-test drive, gears OK, then shifter wont go from D->P.
-drop all that crap again
-get governor out, find out its not secured in its bore
-take off secondary pump, gut all parts out of it, reinstall.
-reinstall governor with awesome snap ring pliers
-test drive, good to go.
On a 201 you might not be able to get the transmission low enough to work on the governor bore area...
