Overall the Corvair Powerglide has established a good reputation for reliability. Its weak links are brought out by improper fluid levels, with leaks bringing on chronically low fluid levels resulting in internal clutch and band slippage and internal damage. High fluid levels can result in foaming and air entrainment caused by the planetary gear assembly spinning in a bath of transmission fluid.
