<VV> EM v LM shifters (some humor)

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

Yes, the 66-69 trannies are somewhat stiffer shifting than the 61-65 4 
speeds. However, there is some hope for the 66-69 crowd!!

When I rebuilt mine, I cleaned up EVERYTHING internally, shift 
mechanism wise. I polished the rails, I especially polished the detent 
ramps, and honed all the bores. Typically, these operations take off 
less than 0.0001" so, clearances should not be a problem.

Anyway, the thing was a LOT smoother afterwards! Although not quite as 
slick as the 61-65 units, it was pretty darn close, and a true joy to 
shift.  I attribute the rest of the friction to the far larger sliders 
and syncro assemblies, which, on the bench, took a fair bit more push 
to slide than the earlies anyway. Such is the price for a stronger 
tranny!

The change came about so that the engineers would have something to do. 
No
really, I don't know the biggest reasons for all the changes but 
certainly a lot
did change EM vs. LM. I know some companies even sold a "quick shift" 
kit for
the Corvairs. In my opinion the '66 transmision shifting was a bit 
stiffer than
the '65. Anyone else notice this '65 vs. '66?

shifting
and/or precision between the EM ball and scoket shifter and the LM one? 
 Anybody
know why the change?
