<VV> PG Transmission Questions?

[Keith Hammett]

Darrell,

I thought you had found someone to look at this and tell you what was wrong.  I still recommend that you take it to Raffee.  He is reasonable and will treat you right.

If you can bring the car to Willard I will even look at it and give you my opinion on what is wrong.  There isn't to much there that the leak can be coming from.  Two O-rings (cable, throttle shaft), governor gasket, vacuum modulator, pan gasket, front pump, trans to diff gasket, and finally the torque converter seal.

Hello:
  This week, I have noticed a serious PG Transmission oil  leak.  Right 
now, it is difficult to tell what
is causing this problem.  It would be appreciated if someone  could tell 
me, the approximate number of hours (normally) it would take  to service this 
problem?
Parts that could be replaced:
1.  Torque Converter Seal?
2.  Modulator Valve?
3.  O-Ring Seal?
4.  Main Gasket Set?
   Would the majority of you, completely drop the engine  and transmission, 
before attempting to work on it?  What recommendations  would you share 
with me, in fixing this serious transmission
oil leak?

Thank you.   Darrell in Missouri (_woofcorvair at aol.com_
