3. Lift off the intermediate gear cover and then remove the gasket.
4. Remove the screw on the pinion shaft:
- From Transmission No. 14498, the screw is secured with Loctite.
- When removing, the screw must be heated to 120°C (248°F).
- From transmission No. 20426 in model year 1998, the screw is secured with with a bendable flange.
- Bend up the flange and undo the screw on the pinion shaft.
- On all transmissions, the parking pawl must be engaged.
- Socket = 36 mm.





5. Remove the gear from the pinion shaft.
6. Heat using a hot air gun and remove the bearing race.
7. Lift out the governor together with the governor housing.

NOTE:
^ When cleaning the governor, only undo the retaining screws so that the governor can be removed.
^ Check that the governor valve moves freely.
^ If the valve is stuck, dismantle the governor and thoroughly clean the parts.
^ Lubricate the parts using automatic transmission fluid before assembly.
^ Install the governor in its housing.
^ se a TORX TX27 wrench.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (7.3 ft. lbs.).





Installation
1. Apply Vaseline to the seals and carefully install the complete governor.

NOTE: When the governor is correctly installed, the governor hub should be level with the splines on the pinion shaft.

2. Heat the housing with a suitable hot air gun for 3-5 min., to about 70° C, and install the bearing race.
3. Install the spacer sleeve and washer to the pinion shaft and install the gear.
4. Insert the parking pawl and tighten screw.
- A flange screw has been introduced.
- When installing, any screw without a flange should be replaced with the newer flange screw.
- There is a long and a short version of this screw.
- Tightening torque, 24 mm long screw: 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.).
- Tightening torque, 70 mm long screw: 170 Nm (124.7 ft. lbs.).
5. Apply a thin coat of Vaseline to the gasket and install it.
6. Install the intermediate gear cover with the 13 screws (screw size = TORX TX27).
Tightening torque: 10 Nm (7.3 ft. lbs.)
