Hi friends I have a:
* 1995 Mayfair * - when i bought this one the previous owner had complete auto box replaced, and the car has only done 32,000 miles but i have a problem. The gears change does not seem to change to top gear. i can get forward and reverse gear, when you drive in D selected the gears only seem to go from 1st into 2nd gear as you drive upto 30mph doesn't go into 3rd and 4th I have checked the gear selection cable/linkage and the kick down linkage seems to ok Any advice please before i start pulling the unit out

Hi, I assume your car has only 1,2,3, forward gears selectable manually? Does 3rd select manually? if it does the govenor may be stuck on its shaft, I had this where all gears worked fine in manual but it stuck in 1st in D, I did pull the unit and unstuck the govenor through the two bolt flange that the kickdown shaft goes through, The govenor had become rusted to its shaft!.
