I misspoke. When I said freely I meant when I put the trans in N and spin the driveshaft with my hands the governors spins, follows the worm gear in the shaft.
I ended taking off the tailshaft housing to have a look. All looks good.
Ultimately I ended up removing the trans yesterday. I'm going to buy a used unit with a 30 spline input shaft. This one is a 27 spline input shaft unit.
I've watched some lengthy YT videos on teardown and rebuild. I also have a 700r4 trans manual. So I've toyed with the idea of trying to rebuild it, but since I have the 27 spline input shaft and my motor is not at about 400hp with 3.73 gears, traction loc, and 32" tall rear tires, I'd feel more comfortable with a 30 spline unit.
Thanks again for the response.
