I just read about the fellow who's trans does not go down to 1st at a light. Mine frequently does this same trick. I think it's a vaccume <sp> issue. Possibly a lazy modulator. On the pan gasket issue, I ended up buying both of the gaskets that the rebuild supply place had, like $3 each. You can get things from them from vendors all over the usa, their home office happens to be about 4 miles from me. Their name is Aceomatic Recon. Google should lead you to their webpage etc. (Mine is M41 trans and they seem to have all the parts, would have to get a gasket kit just to get gov gasket so RTV to the rescue) Thanks again all for all the good info, talk to you later. icq 6570500 AIM ivoryman1963 YAHOO omega1963

I have an overhead cam fuel injected GL-10 wagon (EA-81?) I am interested in information on running on LP gas. I know from personal experience that to convert some other brands/models (Dodge 3.9L in a van) all it takes is to feed regulated gas (20psi) into the fuel line! Could it be this easy? I know there's cold weather issues but how about fuel econ? Gasoline is up around $1.70/usg here now and I think I remember that LP is usually about 1lb=1gal of gas. I can get 20lb of LP for like $8 (40c gal equiv!) Thanks in advance for info.

Ahhhh, finally. I have been having the EXACT symptoms slagathor1 has in my 1983 M41 (gl 2wd, 150k+ miles). I had read a post somewhere here (archive?) that a fellow had the exact same model, and problem, had changed the modulator with no luck. He said he was going to do the gov next. He never came back!!! (Did it fix or did he replace the whole mess?) I have purchased a new drive for the gov ($12 from a national place that's hq here in Pittsburgh.) Was wondering if I could use a steel drive gear (turbo) on a non-turbo 2wd trans? Was unsure so I got the plastic, after as far as I know it's never been replaced before and if I get anywhere near 150,000 miles on the new one that's just fine with me! ;-) In any case, now that I have confirmation that it's a gov problem, I will do it tomorrow! Hopefully it won't eat the new one! Btw, on the rebuild archive I saw and everywhere else, it never mentions that (at least on my gl) all you have to do is remove the spare tire and reach into the area of the AT and the gov cover is right there above the CAT. (would have jumped into the job earlier if I knew that) If this does fix it I think I'll also flush the fluid etc.
