Reminds Me of Me back 35 Years Ago Lost My Corvair to a Favor. Lent My Covair to a Relative and they Smashed it on a Red Ligh in Milpitast. Great Vid Keep on Going Great Hobby.
My first car was a 64 Corvair... Had to replace a couple of powerglides due to "spirited" driving habits... I did NOT remove the engine or transaxle, merely took the transmission out by itself... Seems like a LOT more work in your video... Luckily, easy engine to remove replace overall... Nice to see people still have interest in this unique car decades later...
Living in the salt belt, Minnesota, appreciate the rust free body and bolts that come loose without extra ordinary methods. I'm afraid I need remove my transmission too. I have a '65, so it's a little different. I am also considering the HF transmission jack. Too bad you can't remove just the transmission. I also need to reseal my engine.
That transmission jack has a limit of 450 lbs. With the engine/trans and diff that is pretty much around 450. Small foot print. Wouldnt want that engine to tip over being that high up. Use with caution. Back in my early 20's (early 90's) I used to use a spare tire, skate board and two floor jacks to remove my power train. Would jack up/down the car instead of the engine. Last time I did it a few years back I built a small dolly instead of the spare tire and skate board. But basically the same way.
Hello Ben, I live in Germany and have also had a Corvair with the same problem for two years. The gearbox loses oil while driving and the automatic clutch slips when it is cold. Once it's warm, it's no longer a problem. Of course I've watched all your videos, unfortunately I'm not as gifted a mechanic as you are. Of course I'm already looking forward to the next video and I hope to learn from it. Keep it up and thank you.
I appreciate your comment very much! I really wouldn't call myself a gifted mechanic, I just like to take things apart and see if I can fix it. Thank you!
Depends what you are comfortable with doing. Rear end needs to be up on Jack stands, tires need to come off and Axles need to be pulled out to gain access to the head of the bolt that holds the bushings. Then you will use a jack to lower and raise the ends of the spring.
Awesome you've got the courage to take on rebuilding an automatic trans. I know I'm going to have to do the same to my 64 Monza in the future. Keep rockin' and rollin' - you're doing great!!
You might consider going the EV electroCorvair route Apparently GM had considered doing it and anyway its faster and the 50/50 balance is better. I know its expensive but it will make the love of Corvair last longer!
Hi BenBen, I and your followers would be happy if you upload the part 2 video soon, hopefully it won't be long? I am eagerly waiting to study and repair the same problem on my clutch. Thanks for what you do, keep going. Greetings from Germany (50km from Bruce Willis' birthplace).
You really start to realize whether it’s an electric car or an internal combustion car; all the parts have to work and fit together like a Swiss wristwatch.
Hey B.B. ! Good to see Ya again & happy new year to You ! I was wondering what was going on with You & the 64 vair ? But You've answered that ? & I look forward to seeing the 1966 500 ! Is it a coupe or a 4 door ? Thanks for the video😉.
Its coming along well 👍That's a good looking car. I can't wait for it to warm up here so I can get back to work on my 63 convertible. Looking forward to more videos
Dude keep it stock. There are so many monzas with chrome out there cuz so many ordered them but not that many ordered 500's. Not that many survivors. The look is cool just because of that. Simple and plain. Once you install it it wont be as good. I recommend just buying a 900 if you want chrome oi it. Plenty for sale.
You are lucky you can take a car apart in your driveway and not be harassed by your neighbors or a HOA. At least as a kid working ony car I lived in a rural area and nobody to deal with, just cold Iowa winters and an unheated garage.
Transmission was successfully rebuilt, over 200 miles on it so far. I've been neglecting to make the next video because I didn't like how the clips came out. Also having trouble gathering some clips cause part of it was shot on another phone. Currently not in the U.S.
Another good video thanks for taking the time to make this video as I know it’s hard enough just doing the job. Was it easy getting that license plate? Thinking of doing the same.

That's sad to hear, I'll make sure to never let anyone else drive it but me!

Welcome back. It looks like a nice and fresh suspension .
Thank you and I appreciate your support!
I recently sold my 65 Monza 110 pg and currently out of Corvairs, I bought a 1987 Iroc Z28 that I plan on playing around with for a little while.
Amazing timing. Dropping mine today for the same reason. 🤙

Wishing you the best luck, if you are careful the HF Trans jack should work! Also good time to reseal the engine while it's all out.
HE LIVES!
Awesome to see you make another video!!

Here I am thinking my audience is all older guys judging every thing I do! Lol.

The old timers told me that you’ll get a hotter spark if the coil is mounted by the engine mount, away from the heat.
That sounds like a good idea! I think I'll give that a try!!
@@benbencorvair9071 I moved mine, but my car still isn't on the road yet. Couldn't hurt though!
Nice clean drivetrain. :)
glad your back dude!
Is it hard to change out leave Spring bushings?I have a sixty four corvair And I need to change out the leaf Spring Bushings.
Depends what you are comfortable with doing. Rear end needs to be up on Jack stands, tires need to come off and Axles need to be pulled out to gain access to the head of the bolt that holds the bushings. Then you will use a jack to lower and raise the ends of the spring.
Did you make a video of that?
You might be my covair Guru😂 I need the help
Awesome you've got the courage to take on rebuilding an automatic trans. I know I'm going to have to do the same to my 64 Monza in the future. Keep rockin' and rollin' - you're doing great!!
Thank you, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I hope your rebuild goes well!
Hey it works it all good glad to hear from you and great job on getting it out.👍
Please organize the Playlist first episode from top to down. Best regards,

Excellent. Glad your back. Keep that Corvair running. Glad to hear you got a new one also. Keep the vids coming
Hi BenBen,
I and your followers would be happy if you upload the part 2 video soon, hopefully it won't be long?
I am eagerly waiting to study and repair the same problem on my clutch.
Thanks for what you do, keep going.
Greetings from Germany (50km from Bruce Willis' birthplace).
Can you pull the transmission without removing the engine?
Curious why you took out the mount bolts in the rear instead of just the one castellated nut?

The 66 is a 2 door, I might post a picture of it to the feed. Thank you for your support!!
Its coming along well 👍That's a good looking car. I can't wait for it to warm up here so I can get back to work on my 63 convertible. Looking forward to more videos
Same my car 64 powerglid but the basic model 500 coupe without chrome trim. It's possible to add chrome from monza and how much cost complete kit.

@@thisone. thank you for your reply. 👍💐
Where in Texas are you? I’m in Pflugerville. I just got one couple weeks ago
Glad you are back Ben! Seems like you are well informed. The 'vairs are pretty simple once ya get use to them.
Great content as always Ben. Hope you can continue to post regularly but tough under any circumstances!
Where is parts 2 more than 2 months waiting.
How’s your Powerglide coming along?
You are lucky you can take a car apart in your driveway and not be harassed by your neighbors or a HOA.
At least as a kid working ony car I lived in a rural area and nobody to deal with, just cold Iowa winters and an unheated garage.
Even if we did have HOA they can beat it! No one is stopping me from wrenching on my Vair..
i have 6 easy to fix ,,nice 64
How it going just wondering
