Shaving Governer...How hard is it to remove?

[Chris McDade]

I need to shave some more off the Governer. How hard are they to remove? Can someone please tell me how to get it out.

Thanks in advance

First remove the pan. Be aware, this can get messy.

Next, locate the governor cover. It's located toward the rear of the transmission, where the little 'bubble' is on the back of the pan. Remove the four bolts and pull the cover off. Careful not to tear your gasket.

The governor should come out with the cover. When reassembling, torque the cover bolts to 15-20 ft.-lbs.

Greg,
That helps Thanks

Is there a spring in there that I should worry about?

spring on small wt.

It`s alot easier to put in after you have the gov. back together.

Chris,

while the governor is out, go ahead and pin the spring to stop it from popping out.
