Removing Ultramatic Governors - Special Tool?

Posted by Bob E. On 2021/7/28 19:49:55

Gents,
My ultramatic shifts 'hard' (Low to High) when driving in Drive-Right. It shifts >40 mph with a pronounced 'clunk' (and aided if I back off the accelerator when it sounds like it should have shifted already)

I've checked the linkages a few times and all seem correct so I was thinking of removing and cleaning the governors. I haven't done anything w/ the tranny except change the Type F fluid (it still looks nice and red)and adjust the band bolt as per the SM. The SM (on page 54) references a 'special governor wrench PK-24.' So before I drop the pan I was wondering how special that tool really is or if I would be able to remove the governors with standard tools?

thanks,
Bob
