<VV> PG rebuilding parts, video, and tips

[Keith Hammett]

It is getting to be more and more evident that I will have to rebuild the PG on my rampside.  I have a slipping issue (kind of like a chattering clutch on a manual) on take off.  Once you are moving it is fine.  So here are the questions.

 

#1  I thought I saw/heard about a video on rebuilding the PG, but I now can not find that source.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Anybody care to comment on the video (i.e. is it a got to have before doing, quality, etc.)?

 

#2  I have seen the ad in the Communiqué for the rebuild kit including exchange band.  Is this a good source or am I better to order from Major Vendor.  Do I need anything else besides what is offered in this ad?

 

#3  Any tips or suggestions for a first time into a PG?  I did remove the pan and adjust the manual shift valve after cable replacement (kind of like staying at a Holiday Inn lol).

 

#4  I have the '61 shop manual w/ '62 supplement any other sources that I need to do this?

 

#5  I know that there was a difference between the early (145 cid) and late (164 cid) PG transmissions.  I have a '65 110hp engine coupled to an early FC PG.  What if any modifications do I need to make while I have the PG torn down or will I be good the way it is?  I think I read this in the PG tips that Corvanatics puts out.

 

#6 Anything I forgot, see tip #3.

 

I just started thinking about this at work this a.m. and wanted to get some opinions going.  Thanks for any input that you have.
