    I don't think _my_ auto (1968 Beetle) is an
example of that.  :-)    Well, now - not so fast!  While your Bug may not have power
steering,
 if it's got an automatic transmission...  Nope... 4-speed manual.  There was
this thing called an "auto-stick",
 but that was a servo-operated clutch (and an ordinary manual transmission)
 that engaged when you began to move the stick.  You still shifted, but
 you didn't clutch. 
I don't think that I would call a torque converter a "servo".

Hi
 I put a brake servo on my '53 power wagon. That is gone
now. The storm this last winter blew over a 147 foot Douglas Fir
onto it. It push all 4 tires into the ground, down to the axles,
and the axles to the frame. I think this is when the body finally
gave.
