Sorry guys for not getting back so soon. I got distracted trying to figure out an issue with the charging system having a voltage drop while the engine running. Still trying to figure that out, but I did get to make some headway on the tranny.

I ordered a new governor and swapped it out. The kickdown cable is disconnected. However it still wont shift into 3rd until I am going over 60 mph. Also, what I thought was odd is that when it is in 3rd, I was able to get her to shift down by flooring it 2 out of 3 times. The only time it didnt was when I was going uphill. But the kickdown cable is connected.

Am I misunderstanding the kickdown cable's purpose?

DeadHeadNM, I don't think my th350 has a TCS solenoid. But Im not sure - I havent had to do transmission work before.
