         Hi All,   I was working on a 86 5k today. The owner was complaining 
the auto trans. was unwilling to shift while cold. He said he had drive 
slowly until the trans. decided to shift into second. After the first shift 
it worked normally until the car set for an extended period. I checked the 
governor and found a very small sliver of metal plugging an orifice. After 
removing the piece of metal and reinstalling the governor I pulled the pan 
checked for debris. Apparently the transmission was "rebuilt" recently and 
this particular piece of shrapnel escaped detection because the filter and 
pan was very clean. Anyone having cold shifting problems??
