Late 2-3 shift

[cooled85]

A friend just installed a JW shift kit(YA I KNOW)and now has a late 2-3 shift,about 40 -45mph,but if your in Drive and shift it into OD it goes into 3 as soon as you shift it to OD.What effect would a bad govenor gasket have ?Checked all common stuff,TV cable,fluid level,etc.

In this "kit" was the 2-3 shift valve spring changed?

thats was it

Thanks Greg and Bruce,i got a hold of my friends VB and checked it out and sure enough,he had the wrong spring in the 2-3 valve,it was too small to even fit over the valves landing,put the stock one back in and all is fine.Thanks again.
