The pic may be deceiving, but the governor gear looks shot. I would suggest changing it now anyway, as it is the old green, problematic gear. I would also suggest a new teflon rear tail housing bushing and seal.

I just read your pm, and will try to give you a call later. Today is the only day I am home, and wife has some plans.


Thanks, Pete, is the governor gear the horizontal green one? I'm a dummy except when I'm actually working with my hands then I'm ok. Where can I get a new teflon rear tail housing bushing set? Can I replace the governor gear w/o replacing the governor assembly? Looks like they sell both?

On a semi positive note, I found a replacement VSS that is actually the correct 3.07 one (no flipping it 180*) for $45. Looks aftermarket (standard products), but if it works I could care less.

As far as the c-beam plates I've read good things about them. However, I am not willing to pay $200 for them. That's just crazy for what they actually are. Oh well.

I'll be doing a little more work today. Thanks for the encouragement.

Is this the governor gear?

I found this governor gear on ebay:

This is the VSS I found:

As far as the teflon seals, I found these:
