Thanks guys, just want to make sure, when I do the test in Drive I will record the PSI even though the RV does not move in Drive or second. It only moves in 1st and I have to shift myself to 2nd and than shift to drive.

Nevermind I ordered one on Ebay should have it in 3 days.

Seeing that the reading has to be at 1.5PSI can I use a gaue that's below 100PSI lets say at 15psi to read more accurately. I have an exhaust back pressure gauge that I just bought to test a cat on a Chevy and it is 15 PSI. The 100psi gauges go 0-10-20 so on and only have 4-5 bars in between not...

$10 bucks? Even on Ebay I could not find it so cheap. Is that a small town tool supply or are they a franchise?

I'll look for a 100psi pressure gauge. The 1/8 npt reqires special fitting or just male/female 1/8npt? Or can I just use a convert fitting and plug a bare hose into it that will hook up to the gauge? I'll try the idle in drive with the wheels blocked. The RV is on a side street and I'll do it...

I did check the level in neutral and it's a bit above full. and Yoddaman it doesn't get stuck in 1st and not shift, it just doesn't take off in Drive or second. It only works in 1st and then manual second and manual Drive. So Fishy if I read you correctly you mention that the governer could be...

The RV does have reverse and it works like new. The car was just sitting for awhile(2 years) and that might also be a factor. I cannot drive in Drive or Second it wants to take off but it doesn't move the RV. So I go straight to 1st manually then hift to second and then Drive. So it doesn't work...

Looking at the tranny layout the Lowreverse band is towards the middle followed by the overunning clutch and governer goes last. I know you can get to the governer with the tranny on don't know about the rest. Do any of you know or have done it or is this a tranny pulldown job. Also can the RV...

I let a guy drive my 78 Apollo and I saw him shift to reverse without completely stopping or Drive from reverse at really low speed. Long story short it doesn't start in Drive or 2nd, it wants to but has no power. It starts real easy in 1 and manually upshift for 2 and D. I read a bit about...
