Once I got the yokes off the first time, have not had any more issues on removing again. Anti-sieze is great stuff. On the splines only, keep it off of the retaining bolt threads.

I got the old bearings off and got the new ones on over the past few days. I ordered the removal/installation tool from Clarks Corvair parts and it worked well. Didn't have to use a press to remove or install them. Got axles reinstalled in the car today. It was part of mom's Christmas, so I was happy to do it. I also found a source for rear shocks. My dad ordered them from O'Reilly Auto parts earlier this week. They are made by Rare Parts, and they were a little over $50 each. Part number is 51328. Maybe I'll have it back together for New Years!

Well, I got the shocks on the car, fixed a few other minor things and drove it today for the first time in several years!!! I'll need to adjust the brakes on it as it is pulling to one side when I stop and get the turn signals fixed which should not be a big deal.
One thing I did notice is that as soon as I pulled out of the drive way and got it to about 10-15 mph it shifted into drive. It didn't have any pick up to it at all. After a 1/4 mile or so I was only running 30 something mph. I pulled into the local church parking lot turned around and put it in low before starting on the road again. This time I let the rpms come up and waited until about 35-40 mph to shift into drive and it picked up speed fine. I do not have the passing gear cable hooked up at the moment, but it seems like it would have some pick up to it without downshifting. I remember the last time I drove the car it would sound like it was almost going to blow up before it would shift into drive. Is there a way to adjust the modulator valve on the trans to raise the shift point?

If the cable is not hooked up & adjusted correctly, it will up shift at to low of a speed. All the trans shift adjustment procedures are in the manual. Do you have a factory svc manual?

Keith,
What else would make it shift into drive at low speeds? Gary |

T/V & or cable out of adjustment, possibly governor.
