Powerglide damage from 'clicking' engine off in lights

[Greg Reimer 7376]

I have a bunch of Glide stuff up on a shelf and need to assemble a trans out of all of it. Now, you got me to thinking not to ever disassemble a bunch of valve bodies and toss all the parts into one container. Very possible that the manual valves are spaced differently. Those pictures are worth 10,000 words in this scenario. I've had glides that lasted for years and years and still would work, and the clutch and band issues just weren't there. I hurt a high gear clutch pack in my Chevelle some seasons ago, it seemed that fluid level was the cause. This scenario you just described and located would drive a sane man nuts before he found it! Thanks for the message to all of us.

In park, the first journal on the manual valve, will be flush with the VB, if it is the correct manual valve for the VB in play.
