Tailshaft on the 71 Dart took a crap at the last race. Looks like the governor came apart. It is not used by the Reverse Manual Valve body.....The Transmission was scheduled to be replaced after that weekend but I guess it decided it had enough.
I was talking with a friend of mine about this failure, and his opinion is that with a manual shift valve body, there is no hydraulic pressure or fluid in the governor to control the motion of the weights inside of it. He says the weights in an automatic have controlled pressure on both side of the weights stabilizing there movement.Tailshaft on the 71 Dart took a crap at the last race.
