<VV> Overdrive Transmissions

[DickR13607 at aol.com]

I understand the rpm problem, but, as an engineer whom worked for  FoMCo  
for a number of years, I was taught that lower rpm's meant better  gas 
mileage and longer engine life.  Also, why have various people spent  years 
working on possible 5-speed transmissions for Corvairs?  I thought my  idea was 
much less costly.  Would it work?  I don't know, but I  haven't seen anything 
that addresses that question.
