transmission swap
Just been pondering. I have found a 4 speed donor car, What all would be involved to swap my pg out for a 4 speed? Would it be more trouble than it would be worth? Has anyone on here ever done it?

Re: EM PG slipping
The modulator is getting full vacuum, and I did refill it after the modulator, and the fluid does not look or smell burnt. I moved the passing gear linkage both directions and had no affect on it at all.

EM PG slipping
Hey guys, my 64 Monza Pg slipps when you start out in drive and shifts at 15mph. If you start out in low and then shift to drive it doesnt slip a bit. Any ideas? Oh, and I have replaced the modulator(was leaking into the vacuum line) .

Re: How did you get into Corvairs?
