Shift Kit

Getting springs mixed up could very well be the problem. If you accidentally put the wrong spring in the 1-2 shift valve and the one you put in is way too stiff it'll never shift out of 1st.

Tracy, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it have engine braking in 1st if it was simply a stuck 1-2 valve?
It seems like it would.

Also if it was a major problem with second circuit wouldn't it skip it and go right into third.
Right?

And if it was the governor it would still have engine braking in first.

Just trying think it through out loud, but not positive about the details.

Stuck or reversed TP valve???
