You can do a search, but I think that the problems you are having are governor-related. It's easy to get to, you just need to drop the transfer case(if you are 4WD) and it is in the tail end of the tranny. Check out Glacier991's rebuild diary if you want to see pics of the parts and where they are. It's pretty simple to do, I did it in my driveway in about 1 1/2 hours by myself, and I'm not the fastest mechanic!
