Speed Limiter?

[silicon212]

I once unknowingly ran a TH400 without a governor in it. What's bad is that it was on engine break-in, the transmission WOULD NOT shift out of first gear (I'm quite surprised it even moved!) to save its life. Not automatically, and not with gear selection. The engine was brand-new, only having a cam breakin performed on it, and I was afraid that I'd cook it getting the car back home, or at the least, chop years off its life. I am happy to say that this is the engine I am now running in the 9C1, and that 265,000 miles after the nongoverend-TH400 romp around the block, the engine is still strong.

A 700R4 will go nowhere without the governor.

There is also radio traffic from the news helicopter, that was having trouble keeping up with the car. He was advising his station that he was taking the helicopter into its red zone of operation.

I know it's late answering this quote but I just saw this video the other day on youtube.

All good information, but this old thread has been brought back enough already. Say good night, Gracie...
