Default Overdrive Governor

Problem: My overdrive will not engage until 40+ mph. (30+mph in second gear).

I removed the governor. The gear shaft and gear looks fine, seems to be getting plenty of lubricant. Took the top off the governor and all looks good, except it's dry inside where the little weights are. Is this normal? No lube needed?
