Re: [DML] Transmission Questions

<< Very disappointing, I have hundreds of hours into the car and have spent
almost $10K to restore and put the car back on the road. I'm good with
engines, but drive train is another thing. Can anyone give me some guidance
on how to trouble shoot this, or where to start? >>

Lucky for you, this one should only cost you a few hours and about $6 from
your local Radio Shack. The symptoms you describe are a classic trans
governor failure, but you could hook up test lights to be sure. Take a look
at the excellent articles written by Mark Hershey:

There are a few more details (such as how to remove the governor) not
listed, but this will give you a good start. By the way, be careful not to
drape the wires to the governor across the exhaust pipes! [Inside joke]
