<VV> Powerglide Questions

[James Davis]

There are two different style  levers.  The grove is for the sealing 
o-ring.  They are easily replaced if you pull the oil pan off. On the 
pan side you will see the clamp that retains the shaft.  Just loosen 
the bolt on the clamp and the shaft slides out  Any major parts 
recycler has throttle valve levers (California Corvairs or The Corvair Ranch).
