Shimmy at 55 - 60 mph, trans starts off in second



Hello,
I have 2 problems to share with the group. First, I have a shimmy at 
55 mph up, have turned rotors, torqued wheels correctly, replaced 
tires with new ones, replaced front wheel bearings. No loose sway 
bar, no slack in front end that I can find. My next step is to have 
the wheels balanced on the car. Any other ideas?

Secondly, My D starts of in second gear. I did the solenoid test, 
then replaced the governor. Worked fine for a while, then back to 
starting off in second. I know the governor did something right, 
because I now have a neutral safety. Before, it would start in drive.

I think someone messed with the kickdown trying to make the trans 
work correctly before I got the car, and I'm not sure what the 
pressure is set at. My next step is to take to a trans shop and have 
them look at it using my manual.

Lastly, I drove another automatic car before buying this one and it 
would go! Mine has never had the power of the other one, but mine is 
in 50% better appearing shape. Comments?
