AussieinNC,

Thanks for the governor information! I'm waiting on a seals order to arrive then will finish cleaning and re-assembly of my unit.

You obviously know a lot about these overdrives, so I was wondering if you could help with two other questions.

1. For my transmission, the overdrive body has a 7/8 inch female thread and the governor has a 7/8 inch male thread thread where they mate. Other Borg Warner governors that I have seen have a larger thread (not sure of size, perhaps 1 1/4 inch). Do you happen to know why the difference, or is it a newer vs older model design?

2. For the Borg Warner solenoid, do you know how to remove the coil and get access to replace the shaft seal in the solenoid body (not the other shaft seal that is in the overdrive casting body) ?
