Sadly, this indicates the governor drive gear inside the transmission is damaged. It can't be replaced without removing and dismantleing the transmission. Your best bet is to find anther tranny. Or even better - just put a 5 speed dual range into it. Easier to find, and many, many times more reliable that the 3AT.

Lots of threads on that!

 

Here's some stuff from the online repair manual, and you should do some searches too.

You should contact Bratsrus1 (Jerry). He makes a great little install kit that will make the whole process a breeze.
