this tranny has some issues
1. tranny starts off in 2nd gear hot or cold , unless u manually shift it into 1st
2. LONG delay when shifting from 1st to 2nd
3. when it does shift to 3rd and u hit the gas it will go back to 2nd
4. will lock into overdrive at 25mph if u floor the gas it wont downshift unless u stop .
5 sounds like excessive shifting like the tranny is confused.
6 the speed shows 10mph slower than im really going, the tranny was replaced maybe came from a ranger ? a junkyard tranny, gear ratio between tranny and rear is off ?
i have read the modulator and or the govenor may be a problem, if the govenor needs replacement how hard or a procedure to change it out . thx
