yea man, i just want to know how hard it is to change...if its a pain in the ass it wont be worth it to me. |
There's a round cover on the drivers side right in front of where the tailshaft bolts on. Just use a screwdriver or scraper and a hammer and knock it off ( gently). The governor just pulls right out. You need a heavier one. Even when manually shifting, the governor pressure tries to "fight" the full line pressure. Most people want later upshifts, but being your car is TPI, I guess you might want to try a governor from a 91 caprice or pick-up truck. |
I think he'd be good with around 5000-5400rpm upshifts. That'll let him actually USE his awesome shifter and save the transmission a little bit of life when merging on the highway... no need to be passing people on the highway with 6000rpm upshifts. His car can boogie past 98% of the cars upshifting at 4000rpm 8) . I just think he'll have more fun shifting it himself.
