From what what I have heard, you don't want to mix GN tranny parts into a non-performance 2004R unless you swap everything (valvebody, governor, servo). I also don't think that the governor will affect whether it shifts into overdrive or not. Have you checked the adjustment on your TV cable?

As 85_SS stated, you don't want to put a GN (BRF) calibrated governor with a 'run-of-the-mill' valve body. That's one way to assure no WOT upshifts.

To get your speedometer working correctly, just change the governor gear itself. Put the orange gear on the other governor. Then, put the blue 30-tooth driven gear from your GN trans with it.

If the TV cable is adjusted correctly, the no-overdrive condition could be an internal transmission problem like a stuck shift valve or the shift valve calibration doesn't agree with your rear gear/tire size.

There are some dramatically different shift valve arrangements between various model 200-4Rs.

calibrate

how would i be able to calibrate the tranny to shift right i adjusted the cable and the looser i make it the harder it shifts the tighter the tv cable the faster it shifts

If you want that transmission to act correctly, you will need to transplant your governor, valve body, spacer plate, boost valves and servo from your original GN transmission.

[MeanBuicks]

You're kidding right?
