<VV> strage thing with my 66 Corsa

[J R Read]

Ulli,

You are saying first and second gear.  Is this manual or automatic 
transmission?  Three speed, four speed or Power Glide (L & D)?

If manual, does this happen as soon as you go to second gear?  Or, are you 
driving around in second for some period of time?

Later, JR
