<VV> PG advice needed

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

My experiences have "not" been with the Corvair Powerglide, given their 
history of reliability, but, one of the old-timer remedies for GM 
governor troubles is the Hokey-Pokey -- seriously -- take it out, shake 
it all about, and put it right back in.  Sometimes they inexplicably 
just get stuck, and a good shake-about will restore them, sometimes 
permanently.

Not saying that you have governor troubles for your upshift problem.

Does anyone have significant experience with the accuracy of diagnosis 
by pressure testing this transmission?  Again, I just don't have the 
experience here, but have found pressure tests a helpful diagnostic for 
other trans in the past (meaning I have the dang $300 Snap-On gauge -- 
okay, it was a weak moment -- not available for loan).

Godspeed!
