<VV> Powerglide Problems

[iscdirector]

Disconnecting the modulator valve won't keep a Corvair PG from shifting. The rest of the suggestions I agree. I have operated my driver Corvairs on several occasions with the modulator disconnected because they had a bad diaphragm and I was too lazy / broke to replace

I agree with Matt. First check vacuum hoses for modulator (at engine vacuum tube
and at modulator. Then check governor. I have seen mounting tab of governor
break allowing gov. to walk out of trans. I also have seen nylon gear break
(accessible after gov. removed). Forget the switch. PG's RULE!And what side
bearing did you replace? I hope this helps.
