Awesome Dr Mike! Sounds very 911ish. Just noticed how fat (and phat) your wheels are. Those look wider than stock... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'm too lazy to comb through the 76 pages and find out for sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Just took it for a drive! It hauls ASS! It has good stable power up to 3.5K, then it really throws you back into the seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

However, it will not shift out of first. I may have the vac hose hooked up to the wrong spot. I need to check on this tomorrow. I hope to have it inspected tomorrow, then I will be legal.

I was just going through the manual and I think I have a misadjuted low band. I did rebuild the tranz, and I thought I adjusted it correctly, but it is a place to look. It is a weird method:
- First you tq the adjuster to 40 in/lb
- Then you back off EXACTLY 4 full turns

Simple enough.

Well, now it is acting up and pissing fluid on the driveway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Break time.

I talked with a corvair guru today to help focus my thoughts and he made some valid points that talked me out of just buying a rebuilt and slapping it in.

Here is the evolution of events:
- Had forward in low only, and reverse worked. Possible cause is low pressure due to pump not working correctly.

- Lost all forward, maintained reverse. Same possible cause as above.

- Lost all gears. Further shows that pressure to the whole system was lost.

There is a pump shaft coupling in the nose that is fairly easy to get to. This will show me the pump and if there is something cheap to fix it. Man, I hope so. I have to drain it and remove the pan anyway. This will just be a little delay in time. I hope to figure it out more tomorrow. I need time, no rain, and a place to work. It broke down on my inclined driveway. Good times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I guess it's safe to assume it's not the loss of vacuum modulator or an out of adjustment Modulator? That effects shifting into high gear in a powerglide. Also there is a band adjustment you can make too. The other probability is the pump is dead. If you have an out of alignment converter it will take out the pump. I've also seen the converter spacing incorrect and the converter wipe out the pump dogs. (converter not fully engaged)

Funny you should mention Corvair Ranch. The guru I spoke to was Jeff Stonesifer, the owner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Nice guy and we have had lots of talks in the past.

Jeff still works there and answers the phone, then.

Well, I dropped the front of the tranz today and pulled the front cover to expose the main pump. It is easy to see the wear on the pump drive dogs. The pump shaft was OK and the C clip was in place. The primer piston was stuck in its slot and the drain plug had nice fine metal on it.

I am wondering if I missed a measurement and the pump drive dogs were too big. I did have two trannies to choose from when I was rebuilding.

At this point, I am shorter on time than $$ so I am going to spend for a rebuilt and hope it can get here fast so I can throw it in and GO.

It is a corvair, so powerglide. They only came with the powerglide as an automatic.

I put all new seals in. I am pretty sure I did not screw that up as it is straight forward.
