I think I foung the governor, but I want to make sure before I pry the case off - it is on the passenger side, rear of transmission. It is round, and has a metal snap holding it down. I did change filter/fluid (only small ammount of debris in pan, fluid looked good), and double checked vac. lines, but car is still having the problem. Is what I found the governor??
