The flange is definitly threaded. I had one stud break off ( that I was able to remove) and decided to pull all of them and replace with bolts. THis is the only other one that broke. I have 12 point exhaust bolts on my Duramax - which are the same thread as the vette studs. I'll be using those...
Hey folks,
I have rectified my clutch issue, reinstalled the transmission and now I'm having troubles putting the exhaust back in. The car is on four jackstands in my garage. Its been there for 5 years while we were coping with layoff threats and popping out babies. I'm trying to get it back...
Glenn, you're awsome.
The service manual says nothing about the beam being glued in. I've been incrementally moving the transmission and the differential up and down to take the load off the beam and all the time it's glued on.
I'm going to make sure my wife is watching as I dive under the...
I did see the note in the service manual and I hope I would have tightened the pressure plate bolts like you said anyway but theanks for reminding me.
I got the transmission drained and the support beam loose but it appears the differential is really loading the beam. Did you gus ys have to...
I know it wasn't Valeo; I'll look at the box and report back on that. I haven't caught mention of the sealer on the flywheel bolts before. I guess the service manual give direction on that? What type of sealer did you use. I assume thread locker or anti-seize is not what we're talking about...
Yes it the 94
I have the flywheel to change as well. I got all my stuff through a local clutch supplier and when I picked up my parts they had Carolin Clutch labels on them. The flywheel is Luk brand; I forget what brand the clutch is. I had read posts here saying just what you are if I'm...
Okay, I know I should probably be stripped of my car but let me explain. I had a pilot bearing going bad – not gone yet but on its way out. I didn’t want to drive my car until I fixed it so I parked it in the garage. In mean time lots of family stuff has been going on with our kids, our...
There is a truck full of Corvettes that comes through Chattanooga at least once a week. I've seen several sets of the "polished" wheels pass by me on the trailer. I don't remember noticing any that were as shiney or had as much "depth" as the C5 rims. Could it be that they just aren't...
Whalepirot: I've got good jackstands, I bought some 3 tons extra - after all who can work with just two jackstands? Also, I'm getting used to the small hands syndrome. All my vehicles are 94 or newer and the newer they get the tighter they get!
96CERon: I guess I'll find out what the...
Maybe I need a bigger jack/stand combo. Mine set is the low buck, what 2 ton? The small generic set from Walmart. I'll have to measure and see how far up in the air I can get it with what I have. I figure I'll need at least 18" clear under the car to move the ZF out right?
Hrtbeat1, I hear...
I have a tranny guy at church that I asked last night about this. He has proposed one of the springs coming loose from the pressure plate and rattling against the case. Now I know this guy is good, and he really emphasizes the troublehshooting/"think before you act" discipline, but I have never...
I have a clutch-ish issue. I just found how to get the ECU from above the reservoir so I have not checked the fluid level yet. But the more I read, the more I think my trouble is not the same as previously discussed. Past posts have been on not having enough pedal or the clutch not disengaging...
I understand your concern and when I exchanged a ratchet a few years ago I noticed it was remanufactured but it didn't occur to me to ask for a new one. Frankly this reman. unit has lasted longer than the original - and with much harsher treatment.
I wonder if the remanufacturing of these...
