A4ld transmission shifting issue.

[GbMichael1972]

I have a 1993 Exlporer XLT. recently. It has developed an issue. When I first start driving it in the morning it hangs in first gear, until the engine get to normal running temp. After that I have to let off the gas slightly to get it to shift into 2nd. I have change the fluid and filter as well as the vacuum modulator. And it added a bottle of muscle from Transtar Industries. It's not slipping in any gear every gear grabs when it hits reverse also is strong. I have check for vacuum leaks on the surface I'm good there. so unless it needs an internal vacuum leak around the intake manifold.

governor is sticking.

You can access it by removing the tail housing.

Give this thread a read. Lots of good pics!

You can get away with just cleaning it, if it's not in to bad of shape.
