<VV> powerglide problems

[James Davis]

It the car starts out in low and always immediately shifts into drive 
at 10-12 mph it is usually a failed "E" clip in the valve body.  The 
replacement of the "E" clip can be done while the transmission is in 
the car.  If there is no low range it is probably a low/drive shift 
valve is stuck.  It is also in the valve body and this service can be 
done with the transmission in the car
