You were right GD!!! I took the governor apart again and that did the trick!! Thanks alot for the advice.

Thanks alot for the response!!! How's the weather in Alaska or in OR?? I cleaned the governor the first time around. Do you think I need to do it again? I also had the pan off the first time. No chips, Fines, or parts on the bottom. I took the pan off just to see where the pin goes from the vacuum diaphram. The pin sells seperatly and I found one in N.Y. It cost me a buck-and-a-half and $20 bones for shipping!!! Do you know what the other end does? It has to be some sort of ball valve or spring doohicky. I have thought about taking it apart to see what it does because I also think the problem may just be lack of fluid somehow. I can't find a diagram to show me how it accuates.

Hi folks! This site was recommended to me by john from another site. I had never used forums before but my brother suggested I try. Maybe someone can suggest something or a site I can find a tutorial. I have a '83 wagon auto 4WD GL. The drive gear acts like it stays in 1st. I replaced the vacuum diaphram and the fluid and then it ran great for over a month. Two days ago it happened again. Well sometimes even new parts go bad so I replaced the diaphram again for $40 bones. I pulled out the govoner it looked great. The line is not clogged . No luck this time. 1st, 2nd, and R works great but drive won't shift up. Thanks for any help! Helena
