99 1500 4WD, 123k miles. Was shifting fine. One day it started to stay in 1st gear until about 3500 rpms before shifting into second. Everything else seems to be shifting ok. Also can get it to shift earlier by blipping the throttle a bit. Replaced the governor solenoid and pressure sensor with the Brog Warner parts. No shavings in the pan, just some sludge on the magnet. Still does it. ughh. Any other ideas?

 

Did you adjust the bands while you were in there?

 

No, I did not

 

Id say try that. How is fluid level and how does it smell? Not burnt?

 

level ggod and not burnt. That's why I was certain it was the governor..

 

Band adjustment is probably your best bet right now.

 

Before the band adjustment check the TV cable

 

Would a TV cable adjustment change shift points for all gears changes? Its just 1st to 2nd that is off...

 

Its worth a shot to check. Saves you from spending money on more ATF

 

Roger that...thx
