I have not gone back to the shop with it yet, last time I talked with the builder he said "thats as good as I can get it without more money" so now I feel that I should just fix it myself. If I were to do it all over again, I would have just rebuilt my own tranny. Thanks for any info!

If the TV cable is getting full pull at WOT.....Even if the spring is short....Your still getting max TV & the Trans is shifting solely on Governor pressure, SSS causes no off idle pressure & is a Friction killer, Do you have a pressure gauge?

How are your pressures? What Governor did you end up using?
