Ok so I finally had time to get back to the car. I pulled the governor valve and it was ok but the bolt that holds it in place was a bit loose. I got it back together and noticed for the first time that it is slipping in reverse. So it looks like we have a new direction.

The series on the box is 5002. I all else fails I have found another bw35 out of a 79 triumph tr7 about 4 hours from me for $75 and it has 57,000 mi on it. So if I have to get another one at least I think I found a good deal even if I have to use a few of my parts. I will pull the tail housing...

The volvo has a rod selector. I have adjusted it because originally it would not always lock in park. I have tried moving the shift lever sligthly forward while in drive to be sure that it is in drive and it shifts to neutral. Currently the kickdown cable is free at the carb linkage and pushed...

Well I got the valve body out and cleaned it up. After I got it all back together it still wont shift in to 3rd. Any more suggestions??

Yes definatly alittle to far for a quick drive. I plan on pulling it out tomorrow as it has been raining here almost all day. I will let you know what I find when I get it out. Do you know where I might find a diagram of the valve body online??

Indiana, USA. I will Try to pull the valve boby out this weekend and see if thats the problem. I really hope that it is just a stuck valve. I will let you know what I find.

Reverse works perfectly.

Ok so I disconnected the kickdown cable at the carb linkage and it made no difference other that i could barelly feel the 1-2 shift and it shifted almost as soon as the car started moving. 35-40 mph still in 2nd gear. So I guess the next thing to look at is the valve body right? Do any of the...

The crimp is now free on the cable. the cable did get hung up when i was pulling the trans now that I think about it. I did remove the sump and set the cable so that it is in the correct place at idle and WOT. The outer cable could be stretched. One thing is the car did shift hard before and...

Yes the cable has a crimp on it I had to move it so that the cable would be in the correct position with the throttle closed. The car shifted late when I got it. The downshift cam was about a quarter of the way on the cam before I adjusted it. I didnt do that till after I was already having the...

Ok my fluid lever is good. I can feel an hear the shift from 1st to 2nd at about 15-18 mph with light throttle. At 40 mph it is pulling alot of rpm dont know exactly how many but my guess is over 3000. It sounds alot like running 65-70 in 3rd gear.

Actually it is in a 1972 volvo 144 4 cylinder. I have adjusted the shift linkage it was a little off when I got the car. I have also adjusted the kickdown cable. I'll check the fluid level in the morning. Some one mentioned something about a valve in the tail housing, the governor valve...

The problem i am having is that my trans wont shift into 3rd gear. I had to remove the trans from my car to replace a rear main seal. The last time I drove the car before I pulled the trans it shifted fine. After I put it back in it wont shift into 3rd. I have adjusted the kickdown cable to what...
