How do you know if your governor is bad? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm having shifting issues on my TH 400. It won't come out of 1rst gear. The RPM will go up and never shift, especially when going up hill, and there's a pop that comes from the exhaust.

I pulled the governor out and it seems to be fine. The nylon grooves look intact. Is that the only symptom of a worn governor?
I'm also replacing the vacuum modulator and changing the fluid and gasket while I'm at it. Anything else I should look at?
