Back of the transmission right hand side is a steel cover plate with 4 bolts 1/2'' socket or wrench. Remove those 4 bolts. There will be a little bit of oil that comes out ---maybe a a cup at most. Pull the governor out --it should remove easily with a small twist--and look at the plastic gear. You can tell if it is in good condition or not. If it looks OK, you can move on to something else. If not...... Sometimes the rear bushing in the case will walk out and catch the nylon gear and strip it out. If the gear is stripped out, you'll need a new gear of course and pull the transmission out and gut it so you can locktite (green) and lightly stake a new bushing in. Then you can reassemble or rebuild at the same time. The governor controls shifting in the transmission and the vacuum modulator will fine tune it.
