    "Dustless" Brake Pads

    Update on Carbotec pads. Went with the Carbotech 1521 compound front and rear from AMPD Autosport a forum vendor. HUGE difference in dusting. After 100 miles of mostly highway driving there was almost no dust on the wheels. No noise or squeak and the stopping power is indistinguishable from the...

    "Dustless" Brake Pads

    After 500 miles on my '16 Z06 I'm convinced that I need to find low dust pads for the front brakes. The dust build, up especially on the fronts, is very heavy after only 50 or so miles of relatively sane street miles. I looked around, particularly at Hawk, and didn't see anything listed for...

    96 LT4 PCM with custom tune

    I have the PCM from my 96 CE LT4. It was flashed for 58MM TB, GM Hot Cam, Headman Shorty Headers and open air box cover with K&N filter. I replaced it because I was chasing an instrument cluster problem (intermittent speedo read out) unfortunately, the replacement $300 box from PCM4Less did not...

    Help! Speedo eratic/inop!!

    Problem Sloved! Thanks OZ and Ken... Sometimes it's the simple things. After removing the battery and battery tray I located the two ground connections on top of the frame rail just below the master cyl (FSM calls them G101 & G106). One is the skinny wire from the negative battery terminal...

    Help! Speedo eratic/inop!!

    96 CE LT4 Convert. 8000 Miles, manual trans and RTD. At actual 45MPH, speedo indication will jump up to 135 then down to 7 then to approximate road speed of 45 and hold there. When it does jump up to higher indicated speed the SCV Radio volume will get louder (based on the speed signal it gets...

    LT4 Clutch noise!!

    I pulled the trans all the way out so I could see what was going on...I suppose that you could tighten the stud ball and put the "locking button" back in ( with plenty of loctite) with the trans pulled back a couple of inches but it would have to be securely supported to avoid damaging the disc...

    LT4 Clutch noise!!

    NOT TO Bearing!! Pulled it apart and found the ball stud had backed out (or in actually) and moveed the fork closer to the PP. When clutch was depressed the fork would contact the outter edge of the of the PP and create the metalic grinding noise. PITA to get to, it and the "set screw" (which...

    WTB 42 tooth Speedo Driven gear for ZF6

    Way too much info! HIB, Thanks again for the answer to a question that I did not ask... Apparently you looked at my avatar and assumed that I was working with that car (the 62) and ignored the actual OP request for a specific part and went off on that tangent. FYI The trans is a blue label ZF6...

    WTB 42 tooth Speedo Driven gear for ZF6

    My blue label ZF 6 speed manual trans does not have a cable driven speedo, you are correct However there is a 15 tooth speedo drive gear on the output shaft which turns a 42 tooth driven gear which mates to the VSS via a "D" shaped hole which mates with the "D" shaped stud on the sensor. The...

    Help! Clutch noise!

    96 LT4 8000 miles with no previous issues (slipping, chattering or noise) and hydraulics are fine. As the clutch pedal is depressed to half way it operates smoothly and normally. Once you go beyond half way there comes a noise which gets louder and more agressive as you go to the floor. Sounds...
