i have freshly rebuilt 700r4 but it shifts out of frist gear at 4500rpm. I was told i need to use the governor recalibration kit has anyone used it and what weight and spring should i use i have 2400 converter and 410 gears
also how hard is it to do and can it be done in the car

ed o

easy to do,
can be done in the car by removing the small cover on the drivers side (not the passenger side!!!!!!!!)
takes approx 30-40minutes to complete, jacking up the car and all.
if you jack it from the rear hardly any atf comes out if any
can re-seal the cover with silicone

be prepared to do it more than once

that is what i heard im wondering if anyone could tell me what spring and weight to start with

ed o

heaviest weight makes shifts earlier make sense?
grind weight off or take weight off to shift later(like your 4500 rpm)

move one up from stock

I just put the corvette gov in and I am way more happy than my adjustments with the wieghts and springs

I also wanted to tune it down a bit
