I was driving home earlier and couldn`t get my 87 to shift out of second gear. Then after 3 or 4 miles at 20mph annoying everyone behind me on a country road it suddenly shifted up to third and fourth. After that it shifted gears normally for the rest of the journey home?
I`ve checked the fluid and there seems to be enough? What else should I check?

Properly set the tv cable. If it does not go away, pull the governor cap and do a complete inspection of the governor. If both check out, and your problem still exists, next step is to remove, disassemble and clean the valve body. Use new gaskets for reassembly. If that does not fix it, it is rebuild time.
I will try to anticipate your next question (how much for a rebuild):
Anywhere from $1,000-$2000 depending on what part of the country you are in. Upgrades will add to that price
