89 gmc jimmy. 350 tbi stock truck. I plan for this to be my off-road street legal crawler. I have been working at getting her running and road ready. It’s almost there every time I work on it, and when the wife calls I am almost done and headed home.
Finally got Chris to start a build. Now just to get him to add some info.

What have you guys worked on ?
Ya that would be great
That’s not great though
We think we got the engine issues solved by replacing the coil.
Now hopefully replacing that broken gear on the governor will solve the transmission issues.

Did you guys get it timed correctly again?

Still need to put the timing light on it and see where we are at. For now I just timed it by ear to get it running.
Any luck on sourcing a gear or governor?
Last night I went ahead and ordered the one you linked on amazon. Nothing available local (although I didn't try a dealer). Should be here in a couple days.
if you find that the governor is bad (more than just the gear) that blazer at the junkyard had a 700r4 and may be worth pulling that part from.
I forgot. the rocker panel rust fail in my eye and the guys shop I work out of doesn’t have an emergency eye wash station
Could the governor be bad. Not just that gear? I just dont really think the TV would keep it from getting out of 1st
We tried a few more things over the weekend. Everything we are reading says that if it is staying strongly in gear without slipping it's either got to be the governor or the TV cable. We tried adjusting the cable a few more times just to make sure we were doing it right and we are fairly confident we are. We also pulled the governor again and confirmed that when the output shaft turns the governor is turning as well.
We are kinda at a loss so I called up @bigblock72 . He is fairly confident that the trans itself is good, given our symptoms, but we must be missing something. So this weekend we are going to drag it down to his shop so he can get a look at it.
