How involved is changing out the governor?



AND will changing the governor weight change the shift RPM at part throttle??



Jack up car, support the trans, remove driveshaft & trans crossmember & mount, remove speedo gear, remove two Phillips screws holding cover hidden by trans mount.. Remove six bolts holding tailshaft housing.. Spread snap ring tabs behind cover held by two Phillips screws & slide tail housing off trans... Now you'll see the governor... Remove one "E" clip & one snap ring remove old Governor weight replace with new... Reverse process...

Yes a lighter governor weight will effect part throttle because the governor is a centrifugal weight/valve trying to overcome hydraulic pressure...By reducing the weight it needs to spin faster to overcome the same hydraulic force....
