Baby steps! The second shift arm and solenoid are now installed! As I mentioned, the arms are very tight but that’s better than sloppy as the old ones were. The rear seal is due to arrive tomorrow sometime if UPS keeps its schedule.
On the solenoid, the manual indicates the point during assembly at which to install it, then the next step shows it gone. Also it is shown off when the transmission is installed into the car.
On the governor, it appears that to replace one of the wires, it would mean removing one of the settings screws as the wire is under it. Any thoughts on that?
Apparently the area where the adjustment screws are was originally filled with some kind of hard sealer. What was it?
Also, did the governor originally have a boot over it or was it left open to the elements? Did it have a seal under it?
