tokyosnowplow Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Help! My '88 GL Auto has cored out the Transmission Governor and I'm having a tough time trying to find one.

tokyosnowplow Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Find the metal upgrade if you can,not another plastic gear.Good luck. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Joe Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Theres a good write up in the subaru repair manual that will walk you through it. Help!

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.

Turbone Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I just saw one in the local PAP today. I'm going back so I'll see if I can grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 The gear is removable and available at your local (or not so local) Dealer for between US$30 and $75. If you get one used from one of us (I destroyed all of my spares on a bad tranny) you might consider just having the gear shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I would try a used one first, as the tranny may be the problem. If the tranny has a bad drive gear it will eat gov. gears like candy. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
