Anyone got a used governor or governor gear in good shape I can buy out there?

The dealer might have one huh? I didn't even check cuz I figured it was obsolete. Anyone know a part number? Also, is just the gear available, not the whole mechanism...so all I gotta do is pop out the roll pin and replace the gear?

sweet man, lemme know. Joe

cool. I've got the bad one out (super easy) and now I "just" need a new one/decent condition one. The local yard has a tranny, but he won't part it out for this one small piece.

actually, the blown one IS metal. Right now, I'd be happy with anything, just to get it back on the road for snow season.

Help! My '88 GL Auto has cored out the Transmission Governor and I'm having a tough time trying to find one. Anyone got one in good shape I could buy? *girlfriend's car, gotta keep the auto in it any advice welcome.

Got it! It's a 4 wheel drive thing. I'm learning. Slowly. Anybody ever swap out the rear stub axles on an 87 4wd wagon? My splines are worn and the drum works itself loose no matter how tight I get the big nut. Very clacky around corners, but it got me to replace the cv's thinking they were the problem.

Thanks for the advice guys. Being a MOPAR sled guy, it seemed that changing from a 3.7 to a 3.9 rear end wouldn't matter too much (compared to 3.0 to 4.19 type swaps I'm used to). I appreciate the time and effort. I'll probably need more help as I start breaking things during the swap.

Cool, thanks. So what happens if I leave the AT rear end in there? Does it throw off the ratios that much with the MT, or is it just preferable to swap them? Snowboard season starts soon, and I'd rather not do any work I don't have to. I did last season in a S-10 2wd pickup...what a p.o.s. in the snow, I mean SCARY. Had to have the old lady sit on the tailgate for traction..WEAK!

Thanks for the info guys. Is the diff swap and driveline swap necc.? Why? And, is it easier to pull the motor and tranny as one unit, or is it easier to swap the tranny w/ the motor in it? I know it's probably redundant, but my car has passed MANY big American SUV's stuck in the snow on the way to and from Mt. Shasta. Like we say "It does 55mph on dry roads or with 2 feet of snow on the ground"

Howdy everyone! I'm new to this, but I gotta say everyone seems pretty helpful (I'm also an old school MOPAR guy). Anyways, I've got an 87 GL wagon w/pushbutton on the fly 4wd and an auto tranny. We love this car and I've put in a 30,000 mile motor at 150,000. (I don't think the prior owner took real good care of the motor). But the tranny just lost 2nd and 3rd gear. I've got an 88 donor car w/a 5 speed. Any advice I can get for the swap is greatly appreciated. What all do I need from the donor? How does the 4wd engage? How do I bolt on 50 more HP? * just kidding on the last one.
