All_talk Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Might be the infamous governor problem, though that’s not how mine reacted. I think the procedure in the repair manual section may have been lost.:-\ Maybe someone can find it for you. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenw22 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I'm not sure if that would indicate a governor problem - maybe. It's an easy enough fix to try if you have a couple of hours to spare. Let me know if it's not on the USRM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceMan Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Can someone enlighten me on the "governor problem", aside from the one running this state? I also have an EA82 FWD 3AT, and mine will go into 2nd if you force it to. otherwise when its in drive, under normal acceleration, it goes from 1st, almost in second like its kidding me, and sorta "slurrs" into 3rd gear at 30 mph, which, provides very poor acceleration. If you go WOT goin on the freeway it will use second gear till about 55, but it sure seems eager to get in that damn 3rd gear.. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Well there are really two common governor problems… First, drive gear “apple core” type wear, most common with earlier plastic gears, can be replaced with metal gears that came standard in later trannys. Second, wear in the spool valve causes sharp burrs that make the valve stick, makes for a host of shifting problems. Fix involves removing, de-burring and cleaning, and re-installing, there WAS a good write-up in the “repair manual”, but it looks to be missing now. Stephenw22, if you have it maybe you could send it to the admins so they can re-post it. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
