    Code 32 still

    I too had a code 32 that would not go away. I found that one of the vacuum lines was connected in the wrong spot. Take a look at the vacuum routing diagram, on the left top radiator, and verify that all connections are correct. I have not had any code 32 since.

    4+3 pops out of 2nd

    The OD is not engaged. I only use the OD on the highway with speeds over 50mph. When it pops out of 2nd gear, the shifter goes with it. I just serviced my OD unit last week, as I do quite frequently with new fluid and filter. John

    Question: ZF 6 in a 1985???

    Now that I am having problems with my 4+3, see below (pops out of 2nd gear) I am looking at options, Will a ZF 6 speed fit into my '85? I have read about the Richmond ROD, but price is always an issue.

    Lowering my 85 need advice

    I also have an '85 Z51, I lowered mine by first replacing the mono springs with a great set from VBP, tell them what you want the end results to be (handling, comfort, height, etc..) and they will match you up with what you need.

    Steering shaft problems...

    Barry, I took a close look at my intermediate shaft this morning, and yes, there is a rubber 'sleeve' in the foward end of this shaft where it slides over the thin portion of the shaft. If this rubber is worn, I guess that could result in the poor steering response and 'loosness' at speed? John

    Yes, I have the FSM, and it looks like this. I got this picture from the Corvette Centra catalog who sells these shafts for 84 and 85's. So you think there is a rubber sleeve in the telescoping part of the shaft? wow, never thought of that! I have quite a lot of play in the steering at speed. I...
