On to my other issues.....my automatic trans.

Before you all start asking questions about the T56...the swap is still happening I just need to get the 200r-4 shifting correctly before I can sell it.



That being said...ever since this trans was put back into the car from the broken forward drum/input shaft disaster it does not shift down into first when coming to a complete stop. It will take off in second unless I manually put it into first. I spoke with the trans builder and he thinks there is some dirt or debris in the governor that is not allowing it to go into first at a complete stop.

So naturally I got a second and third opinion and was guided to see if the governor has the secondary spring in it. This spring is normally removed in any trans that has a higher line pressure set up. so I decided to take out the governor and what do you know.....the secondary spring is already gone.

**Tech Tip: In a 200r-4 the secondary governor spring is the one that is held in by the plastic retainer. See the pic below.**


Fluid drained and the pan is removed. I also took out the filter for a better picture.





This is where the governor is located. It is in the rear of the trans and is held in by four (4) 13mm bolts.





Here is the Governor....





The secondary governor spring is the one held in by the plastic retainer. The spring is removed from this governor.
