Hi all,
        I recently swapped automatic transmissions in my '91 gl, one '91
for  another. The swap was straight forward physically, although the
installing procedure is a tighter fit than I expected having also swapped
manual trans. Anyway, all seemed to be working fine until the 3rd or 4th
time I drove the van. At this point the trans won't shift out of first gear
for about half a mile or 5 minutes then it goes on shifting happily with no
problems. I searched the archives on the subject and found a reference from
Dennis Haynes to check for a clogged govenor, I checked this and it looked
clean but I swapped in the govenor from the trans I removed to double check
( the faulty trans had been shifting properly) still have the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks.
