<VV> brown ATF

[Michael Kovacs]

Repaired the cable and replaced the pan gasket. It has 4 qts of clean ATF and it 
now shows a bit brown. Perhaps running it wide open at the national autocross in 
low for almost a minute did it.

Mike, I write about this all the time. There is likely a serious problem  with 
your powerglide fluid.
Here is the story.
 
Starting with the 1960 model, Chevrolet specified that the PG fluid NEVER  had 
to be changed. Then, suddenly in 1965 they must have been overwhelmed  with 
field complaints, Chevrolet CHANGED their recommendation from never, to  every 
12 months (ie, change what is in the oil pan). 12 months for normal  service and 
EVERY 6 months for severe service. Six months!!!!!
 
So Mike, if you possibly have any of the old stuff in your PG, get it  changed 
ASAP.
Regards,
Bob Helt
