<VV> PG Shift Adjustment Question

[James Davis]

There are many things that effect the shift points; the governor, the TV 
valve, the TV to carburetor rod, the rear pump primming ball, and broken 
low/drive valve spring.  Note; the modulator has no effect on the shift 
point only the severity of the shift.  Most likely the linkage.  See page 
9-16 in 61 shop manual for how to adjust.the TV  to carb rod.
