Governor Pressure Solenoid / Sensor

[Piston Slapper]

My truck recently was doing second (2nd) gear starts. After searching here, I found the usual suspect is Governor Pressure Solenoid (Transducer) and/or Governor Pressure Sensor. I replaced them both and thought I would post some pics as I had never seen one and some tips on the removal for the first timers like myself.

The Solenoid (Transducer) and Sensor is located on the valve body inside the transmission pan. The Valve Body is what you see after you drop the pan. There is a metal bracket with two star bit screws (T20's I think) and 3 - 11mm bolts holding it on. This metal braket holds the Solenoid in place and seats it into its socket upon tightening the bolts. On the sensor end of this bracket is a "C" shaped slot that entraps the neck of the sensor to keep it from coming out. There is also a "C" shape that necks the Solenoid in a similar fashon to hold it in. After your remove this bracket the Solenoid will just fall out. You then can just pull the sensor out also. Attach the wires and replace the sensor. It'll just pop back into the valve body and hold itself in. Attach the wire to the solenoid and craddle it back into the bracket and insert it back into its socket. At the same time aline the "C" back onto the sensor as this same bracket holds them both in. This will all clear up after you drop the pan and see it if this does not make sense now. If I had only taken a picture of the bracket also...
