<VV> Shiftless PG ... again

[shortle]

As Harry states, the E clip on the throttle valve in the valve body. This can be addressed by removing the valve body. At the same time I would completely disassemble the valve body thoroughly cleaning everything.You do not have to remove the trans or do real serious trans disassembly. I would take lots of notes and digital pics. And of course use the appropriate factory shop manual. And Harry did make a GREAT movie on rebuilding/disassembling/assembling the Corvair PG. Let us know your course of action and your findings.

>The situation is that my PG has stopped shifting from low to high. Before it stopped shifting, the PG seemed reluctant to upshift; that is, I would drive it for some distance (farther than normal) without the PG shifting,  then, all of a sudden it would shift up and for the remainder of the drive would shift fine. Lately, it will not upshift at all. I have replaced the vacuum module and the govenor (thinking that with the way the problem developed it might be one or both), but replacing them did not correct the condition.
