I'm looking for opinions (from automatic Corvair owners) about your powerglide.</div>

Clarks recommends a <b><u>High Stall TC</u></b> (over stock) saying it will prevent stalls or engine drag at stop lights. My Dune Buggy is so light mine doesn't stall, but it does drag my engine when I brake and chirp the tires everytime I shift it into gear.
I think this may be a good upgrade for me but would like to hear other opinions.</div>

BTW - I need to go for a drive every 4 days now, to temporarily stop my PG leaks. This has gradually gotten shorter over the summer and snow is coming soon.</div>
