It got worse. After repairing the governor he started on the throttle body that I wanted upgraded. Problems with the throttle body. Then he noticed other problems and took the transmission completely apart. At this point I would have been better off having him overhaul my $300 core instead of buying that $1,650 off the shelf unit. It literally looks like it was put together with discarded hard parts and new soft parts, all of which I will now have to replace. All totaled, I'll have about $6G in just the transmission not including the R&R and all the conversion fab work.
