Good evening,

There is a governor that regulates the shifting that is located where the speedometer or vehicle speed sensor is located. The gear I circled usually wears out and does not tun the governor.

I would check that gear.

1. Raise and support vehicle.

2. Remove engine to transaxle brace attaching bolts, then the heat shield if equipped.

3. Remove speedometer cable or wire connector from transaxle.

4. Remove speedometer driven gear and sleeve assembly or speed sensor if equipped.

5. Remove governor cover and O-ring.

6. Remove speedometer drive gear thrust washer and gear, then the governor assembly.

7. Reverse procedure to install.
