I finally got the six bolts out of the cover and removed the governor. Held it with pliers so as to get the two hex head screws out. It looked clean and new , but I used the carb cleaner until no fluid was visible coming out of the governor. I see what you mean on the governor usually not failing, it is a very simple unit.
Before I reinstall a couple of questions.
1. Do you always put all 6 bolts back on the cover (:! I don't know if I can get all of them back in!
2. Is there anything else for me to check while the governor is out of the transmission?


I will be installing Friday with hopes to drive it about 2 miles from my house to a car cruise Saturday evening. I know the Clipper isn't pretty yet, but I never see a Packard around St. Charles at a cruise or a show and I want the youngsters to know about Packard.
