The gasket could be either a rubberized cork or a thickish paper.

EDIT: Another thing: when you get the governor out and the plastic gear looks OK, hold the governor by the gear with one hand vertically and flip the weights with the other and watch the small valve on the inside and see if it moves smoothly and does not stick. This can cause erratic shifting also.

Actually post up a pic of the governor when you get it out
Did what you suggested, initially the valve seems moving slowly but with repeated movement of the weights it did move, I noticed some scratches on the surfaces, in the pictures, cleaned it with brake cleaner.
I’m thinking of buying new governor and vacuum modulator, however I’m not sure what brand to buy. Any recommendations? 🤔
Note I live 5000 miles from USA, so I must make sure I buy the correct part.
Thanks 🫡👋🏻
