Govener Spring(springs)

[Dalt10]

I just got my tranny rebuilt. I've got a 88 SS Monte Carlo. I've got a 86 CZF 200r4. I've got the kinks worked out except some of the shift points. The WOT shift points are great. Chirps the tires 1-2-3.(Superior Shift Kit) The regular driving shift points are shifting to soon. I thought of the TCC switch. But i've been reading thru the post and unplugged like a few post said. I drove it around the block and it still shifted early. I like the WOT shift points but would like to get the regular driving shift points a little farther apart. I know the CZF has 2 Govener springs. Would taking one of them out change the shift points? Or should i just buy Bruce's govener. And i have a 87 GN 8.5 posi rear with 3:42 gears. So i know my speedo is off. Could that be affecting it? What speedo gear should i change to? Both gears or just one? Thanks

Taking the spring out of the larger weight will slightly raise part throttle upshifts. Here's some help on the speedo gesr.

do you know where there would be any pics of what the govener with springs looks like? I just want to make sure i don't mess anything up.

Thanx, and yep I'm a member there also. Only get the GN gov if you are sure you have the correct CZF VB.

Are you sure the GN (BRF) governor would work with a CZF valve body? I have a similar issue with our Monte SS with it upshifting early at part throttle driving. I thought Bruce said that the GN governor would only work with a BRF or BQ valve body. I think he stated that it wont upshift. Bruce, are you reading this? I have the original CZF trans in the Monte and have several GN governors here. Could I install a GN governor and solve the early up shift issue or should I remove the spring from the heavy weight per this thread http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=16201&highlight=governor

The CZ calibration is extremely close to the BQ/BR calibration. You can use the BR governor with a CZ valve body. It's only when you attempt to run a BR governor with something other than these aforementioned units (ie. AA, OG, OZ, etc.) will you wind up with no full throttle upshifts. (At least none below your rev limiter. )

Yes I am reading and giggling. They are very compatable. CZ CQ BQ BRF TTA OZ KZ are all well within reason. They will work together. And nicely I might add. Now , finding one.....hrmmm thats the trick...

Oh yeah! About as common as hen's teeth too.

I've got a 87 GN BRF code 200r4 in my garage. It has the correct vavle body(stamped BRF). And it's got the pink stripe on it. It has a Trans-go shift kit in it. I bought it here on this message board. I've thought about selling it. I'd take $375.00 plus shipping if one of you guys want it. The guy i bought it from said it had a 2-3 flair.
