<VV> PG Question

[Bryan Blackwell]

Timothy,

If you don't get a good answer, keep in mind the functionality of the  
Corvair PG is generally the same as a front engine PG.  If you can  
find a trans guy who knows his stuff, he may be able to give you a  
good answer.  For that matter, you may be able to find a  
troubleshooting chart for another version of the PG that will help.   
The darn things are so reliable that I really have never had to do  
anything beyond check the fluid and fix leaks.  Good luck.

--Bryan
