Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?
Too many pics to post so I'll have to do it a few at a time. The trans pan came off with no problems after I had drained it (SO HAPPY that I put a drain plug on it!!!). Once I removed the pan I removed the four governor cover bolts and lowered the cover. The governor (as seen in pics) sits in a bored hole in the cover. Be careful, because when you lower the cover the governor comes with it (or at least it should). In the last few pics you can see the new (modified governor) sitting in the bore of the governor cover. It simply slides out of the governor (no pins, clips).
Once I had removed the governor I then removed the bolt that holds the metal tab onto the speedo plug. REMEMBER, everything is metric. Once the speedo plug metal tab is removed the speedo plug can be carefully pried out. The speedo plug has an O-ring installed in an O-ring groove on the outside of the barrel. This O-ring seals in the tranny fluid so handle it carefully. There is also a small internal seal inside the plug, this seal keeps fluid from getting past the light green speedo gear shaft. This internal seal had been recently replaced when the tranny was overhauled so there was no need to change it. The speedo gear that resides in the plug simply slides out once you get the plug out of the tranny. The end of this plastic gear butts up against a machined surface inside the tranny so there are no clips or locks that hold it in (it's basically trapped). I replaced the old speedo gear (the one in the plug), you can see the new blue plastic gear installed in the 7th pic if you through the governor hole. Then I swapped out the governors. I had already installed the new green gear on the modified governor so all I had to do is pull the old governor out and slide the new one onto the cover. Then I reinstalled the speedo plug with the new gear and locked it in with the metal tab (be careful with the O-ring). Then I slid the new governor w/cover into place and torqued the four bolts. More later with more pics and details on how the new modified governor helped my shift points...I'm so happy :toothy7:!!!!LOL.
