Governor Pressure Test

CAUTION: Never exceed 60 MPH speedometer reading during governor pressure test. After each test, move selector lever to Neutral and run engine at 1000 RPM to cool transmission.
  1. Raise vehicle until rear wheels are clear of ground. Disconnect and plug vacuum line to vacuum modulator unit. Connect hand-held vacuum pump to diaphragm unit.
    NOTE: Rear suspension must not hang free. Support rear suspension arms so halfshaft CV joint angles are at curb weight condition (5-9 degree shaft angle). Without support, CV joint will operate at a very high angle resulting in damage to joint.
  2. Place transmission in "D". Apply 10 in. Hg to diaphragm unit with no load on engine. Increase speed slowly and watch speedometer. Note speed at which control pressure cut-back occurs. It should occur between 6-20 MPH.
  3. Governor is okay if cut-back occurs as specified. If not, check shift speeds to verify that problem is in governor and not due to stuck cut-back valve. Repair or replace governor.
