700R4 Transmission Won’t Shift? Diagnosing a Faulty Governor on a ‘65 Chevy Nova 🚗💨
Last time I took my 1965 Chevy Nova Wagon out for a drive, I ran into a serious issue—my 700R4 transmission stopped shifting completely! Park, Reverse, Neutral, and First worked fine, but 2nd, 3rd, and Overdrive were gone. After hours of research, I suspected a faulty governor was the problem.
