the speed governor is still sticking. i took it to my mechanic and he said that the fluid had some metal traces in there. i got the transmission flushed and went back after a month to check on the fluid. he said that there was some metal filings still coming back. is it the filings that continue to get the speed governor stuck? is it likely that he didn't flush everything out? the speed governor will be fine for a month after the fluid change, but then the symptoms will begin again. i have to drive it to 4k rpms before it will finally kick out of first (on a cold engine). after that...everything is fine. what could be causing the metal shavings? will replacing the speed governor remedy the situation? should i just replace the speed governor anyway. is there anything i can add to the fluid to help with the situation? how much is it to replace the transmission if i just drove it til the transmission is dead? thanks guys for all your help.
