Thanks guys for the replies.
I pulled the governor Sunday. Gears are in excellent shape, weights and valve spindle inside governor are free.
Checked the kickdown cable too, because that is what it is like at highway speeds, like someone randomly yanking the kickdown forcing it to drop down a gear. Kickdown is free, snaps back when pulled.

I guess it is time for a rebuild.
