Re: My tranny won't shift

CSB. look at the condition of the gear on the governor. If it looks like an "apple core" the governor is binding in the bore and has to be replaced. The other gear is on the output shaft and you have to remove the tailstock to get to it, then hold the clip down and tap the gear off with a hammer. The most common failure to shift in a 350 is vac modulator followed by detent cable and lastly by the governor or a valve body problem.

The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
