<VV> Pwrslyde shift cable

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

First, a note to note the missing of Tony, Herb,  & Ed  --  God Bless!

Anyway, being of very limited Corvair auto trans experience, I was 
recently noticing that it seemed the hole for the shifter cable was 
punched 'backwards' in the front crossmember of the '60 I was working 
on, and wondered that if removing the cable from this hole by twisting 
it 180º could lead to the number of broken / leaking cables that are 
reported.  Thusly, I wondered if this was just on the two '60 auto 
crossmembers I have, or was this 'backwards' thing carried on throughout 
the life of the design, or is there a good reason for this 
'backwardness' of which I am unaware (like a website or book on Corvair 
auto trannies that I haven't read)?

I plan on taking the die grinder out to modify the hole's shape.  Any 
thoughts?

Thanks,

Bill Strickland
