  1. I went ahead and cleaned the contacts in the transmissions governor. Fixed the issue
  2. Thanks guys, I do have the motor manual which goes into pretty good detail. And after watching those master tech videos I’m thinking it may be something dealing with the governor not making the connection to release the pressure on the piston. I tried to remove the cap to the governor today but it wouldn’t budge. So tomorrow I’ll see if I can get it off the transmission and on the bench to try and baby the lid off and check/ clean the contacts
  3. Hi guys, so I have a 1949 Dodge Coronet with the semi- auto transmission. When I start the car up, it goes into gear and takes off beautifully. But after I let it automatically upshift and then I come up to a stop, the car doesn’t downshift. But then when I go to accelerate again, the car cuts out and dies as if I just turned the key off. (No sputtering or anything). Sometimes when I try to take off after being I’d direct drive instead of stalling it will bog out and then kick back in and sometimes downshift and sometimes not. It seems like an electrical issue to me since it shuts the car off in a very uniform electrical way. I figure it has something to do with the interrupter switch or resistor but I am wondering if you guys have had this happen before. The carb is tuned properly and runs very well when driving down the road, in neutral, and taking off as long as I have not let it upshift yet.
