Well the govoner controls WOT shift points. But id just assume if it has a kit the thing has been beat on. Might just be time for a rebuild. To many hard miles and not enough care.

Pull the governor and inspect the gear. Replace it if it is chewed up. Also check to see that the valve inside the gov works smoothly.
