I thank all of you who are helping me with my automatic transmission woes. ie. What I called downshifting into first from third at a high speed causing an over rev. I was able to remove the governor for inspection and it looked pristine. The usual capacitors that have problems were 15v olt units in mine. Seeming that they were not the problem I figured I was in for a lot of educated trial and error repairs and adjustments to the CG so... I successfully transplanted the computer electronics to a box in the engine compartment for testing purposes running a 3 conductor cable to the "generator" (alternator) that remains attached to the tranny. I have found some new information, perhaps better defining my problem. When traveling at 45 mph, depressing the accelerator firmly causes the computer to want to downshift from third to first as indicated by a no solenoid on to both solenoids on condition. My problem seems to actually be that the transmission somehow disengages or slips when this occurs causing the overrev. I have been able to confirm this because if I force the car to stay in first, ie shifter at 1, the car's speed at 5000 rpm is about 45 mph, so I assume that driving at 45 mph in 3rd, and hitting the gas, if it downshifts to first the engine should rev to that same 5000. It revs much higher up towards 7000. One time as a test I let up on the pedal to keep the engine revving at 5000 and applied the brakes to slow down. I was able to easily stop the car with the shifter in D, the engine revving at 5000 and the two solenoid lights on indicating 1st gear. I did this quickly and hope I didn't do too much more damage. So it would seem that something was slipping or disengaged. This does not seem like a computer governor problem. What is the groups thoughts on this? Dave and 6530 ps Yes the car still runs after doing that test.
