<VV> POWERGLIDE REBUILDING my 2cents

[N2VZD at aol.com]

if you want to rebuild your powerglide i HIGHLY suggest the video and the  
book "powerglide transmissions, more than you ever wanted to know" by Bob  
Ballew.  the most important thing i can say is plan on lots of slimed oily  parts 
to carefully clean. i made any tools i needed myself. there are pictures  on 
the cnycc website of a lot of it.  i made a tool to use with the press  to get 
the servos apart out of a fuel pump cover and 3 bolts brazed on to it, i  used 
a dollar store dent puller with a bolt brazed on the end as a puller , but  
you dont even need that. other that that the corvair glide is not hard to  
rebuild.  just replace ALL of the seals and disks , dont skimp. get press  help 
with the clutch pack servos if needed.i use cardboard on my bench tops to  
provide the clean surfaces needed.  i go to the appliance store often to  get dryer 
and refrigerator boxes.
hope this helps you.  the important thing is "buy the book!!"  he  also wrote 
a good one on differentials.  both are sold by corvanatics  group.
