How to remove the govenor - 1997 Cadillac DeVille

check the way you put the governor in the housing as it will only work in one way.

Aluminum metal shavings are very normal for this transmission if the pan has never been off.What do you mean by "clutch band".This unit has 4 sets of clutches 2 bands and 2 rollers clutches.I would suspect a bad govenor pressure sensor and or solenoid by the symptoms you describe.With a scan tool you can look at govenor pressure(actual)and desired govenor pressure.Govenor pressure should be at 0 sitting still and should increase with road speed( example 22 mph=22psi). Let me know if I can help.

Is the check engine light on? Does the speedo work? Probaly is either a bad output speed sensor on the trans tail hosing or a bad govenor pressure solenoid and /or pressure sensor on the valve body. Need to have it scanned. Output rpms should be zero at a stop and increase with road speed . Govenor pressure should be within 3 psi of desired govenor pressure . Desired govenor pressure should match road road speed.I would recomend replace the sensor and solenoid as a pair.Please vote and good luck!

it actually sounds as if the high clutches in trans is slipping you have to have a pressure test done but be prepared to replace trans

Common problem is govenor pressure sensor and the govenor solenoid. With a scan tool you can see gov pressure and desired gov pressure. Govenor pressure should almost match vehicle speeed ( 15 mph = 15 psi ) . If govenor pressure is eratic or high or low in rlationship to desired gov pressure replace the sensor and the solenoid. Will need to pull the pand to do this.make sure when you check the fluid you check it in NEUTRAL with the engine running and not park.

Now by govenor do you mean the part of the car that controls the speed? This is a program installed into the cars computer and acts as a safety device to prevent over speed. Not sure that it can be removed but local speed shops may be able to reprogram your cars computer

To remove the govenor pressure sensor you have to drop the pan,remove the filter,take the torx screw out of the bracket that holds the sensor unplug the sensor and wiggle it while pulling back on it.

The govenor cover has an o-ring seal. No problem, just be sure NOT to let the govenor fall out. Remove the cover with a screwdriver by tapping it outward with a hammer, gently. The throttle valve cable has a rubber seal, you can get from any trans shop. Unhook it from the top/throttle body first. Leave it mounted in the brackets. Then remove the bolt holding it into the trans, pull up and un hook the throttle valve linkage. Be sure to reinstall this in the reverse order. If when you go to hook it back up top pull the cable. You should feel spring tension on the cable if so then you have it right. Good Luck

Was the vehicle a previously rental vehicle? because if it was there is probably a speed govenor on it or a rpm govenor on it most likely a speed govenor if a previous rental vehicle

your car has a speed govenor on it if you want it to go faster take it to a shop that can reprogram the speed govenor
