<VV> Powerglide Questions

[Harry Yarnell]

The shaft is held in place by a clamp inside the case. Drop the pan and 
loosen the clamp, and it pulls right out.

> Hello All,
>     I picked up a Powerglide trans this past weekend, cheap. I'm new to 
> the world of Powerglides and Corvair engines, so forgive me, but I'll try 
> to explain the problem clearly. When I got the trans home, as I was taking 
> it off my trailer, a lever fell off. I've since learned this is the 
> throttle shaft lever, it's on the left side of the trans, down low just 
> above the pan, right behind where the selector cable enters the trans. At 
> first inspection, it looked like the lever had been broken in two and 
> welded back together. On closer inspection last night, I realized that, in 
> fact, the lever had been crudely welded onto the shaft coming out of the 
> transmission. Question is,can this shaft be replaced? I'm not even sure 
> how this lever originally attached to the shaft. There is a groove cut 
> into the shaft, at first I thought maybe just a C-clip had popped off, but 
> that's not the case. I found the lever listed in Clarks catalog, but not 
> the shaft itself. Thanks in advance!   Jeff
