<VV> LM/LLM 4-speed gaskets different ?

[Charles Lee]

Correct-o-right-O ~

The front crossmember is "offset" to accommodate the longer tranny (as in
transmission, not a transvestite) case.

Also, as I found out back then when a non-Corvair guy replaced my 1965
4-speed with a Saginaw (all he could find?), he may have failed to recognize
that the oil paths in the gasket need to be changed? My pinion gear melted
(yes, the big one melted) and all the squished little pieces of bearings
when the transaxle case seized and split (at about 70 MPH).

I think he made his own gasket htat might have been missing a hole ~ is that
possible ?

Are the gaskets different ?
I realy don't want to go down that road again ! ("That road," ironically,
was the "SOB" on Long Island)

Thanks again,
Charlie

"the brackets"
Do you mean the transmission support crossmember? Please elaborate. Thanks.
(Sorry Charlie, I couldn't resist).
