Governor solenoid

Has any one had a problem with having them taken off and had the tranny not shifting right. I am having a probldem with 1-2 shifts. The transmission seems to be jumping into 2nd then back to first really quickly. Any advise.

When we bump up the line pressure on our 48's it does cause the solenoid to go out prematurely. Replace rapidly!! It can kill your entire trans. I know by experience. However do not be alarmed if this does occur in the next few monthes again. It is a fairly common occurence.

Aint the valves. It is the pressure soleniod. I have built trans also. 2weeks after I had the thing go out again 4 the 3rd time. However that was about 7 monthes ago and have had no prolems since. Just know to watch for it. It will cook a built trans if it goes and is not repaired almost immediatly.

How difficult is it to replace the pressure solenoid and/or transducer? What do the parts cost?

Very easy to replace the presssure solenoid. Drain the trans pan, remove trans pan, remove the filter. Should be looking at that time for a small round almost looks like a small pill bottle. remove it and disconnect the wiring to it . Reinstall new, fill back up with fluid.

Thanks for the reply. Expressfish said he had the governor and transducer solenoids replaced. Does this imply we need 2 parts or is this the same as the "governor pressure solenoid" part you described?
