As I Expected Thanks very much for both replies. I expected the procedure to be the same. When I did my C5, dropping the torque pan and exhaust was easier than expected if you have access to a lift. I wouldn't want to do it with the car on jack stands and lying on my back under the car...

My 2012 has 4400 miles only, but I want to flush the hydraulic clutch system - not merely change the fluid in the master cylinder. I was able to do this with my C5, but those of you who have done it know it isn't the easiest thing to do. Removal of +30 bolts from the torque pan, dropping the...

Found One Hib, Thanks very much for your help. I found one last week. I was at a local shop that primarily works on Vettes. They had one on a shelf they had for years. After blowing the dust off the pkg., it was exactly what I needed. It was a Ventmaster vent mechanism. I used them on...

Thanks Thanks very much for the link. I had called Zip early on during my search. They indeed carried them, but were out of stock and not sure when/if they would be getting any more. They are located not too far from me. I have to go to Richmond next week, so I'll call before I go to see if...

Has anyone recently purchased a vent for the rear hatch. For some reason, the ones for the Coupe are almost impossible to find. They are readily available for the ZO6 and convertible, but not the Coupe. I have checked with most of the popular jobbers, ie. Mid-America, Ecklers and West Coast...

Got the lights hooked up I'm on the N. Carolina/Va. border. After fooling with the the lights and working blind, I inserted a screwdriver under the lens and popped it out. Once I did that, no problem connecting the LED lights. I did not have to removed the plastic tray/cover under the dash...

I feel silly asking, but what is the easiest way to uplug the footwell lights on a 2012 C6? I am going to plug in the LED lights. I just had a hip replacement about 4 weeks ago and I can't lay on my back with my head in the footwell. I was trying to disconnect the lights by feel. My LED's...

Sending back the lights Thanks to all who replied. After much deliberation, decided to return the lights. While I think the lights would look good, there is too much downside. Removing the front bumper could damage it. I called Corvette Mods and said their product description is misleading...

Thanks for the response Reply is not too late - thanks very much. I'm still wrestling with whether to proceed. Headlight removal should be pretty straightforward as you describe. My dilemma is whether I want to tackle removing the front bumper. If I scratch it, drop it or crack it, I'd be...

I purchased fixed headlight system w/projector bulbs. Reading the item description, supposedly the installation is "easy". The instructions with the kit make no mention how to remove the old flip-ups and buckets. Looking at it, I'll probably figure it out on my own. I was wondering if anyone...

Thanks for feedbacik dadaroo, Based on your response/opinion, I think I'll hold off on ordering the CD and instead pay the extra $$ for the year specific manual. Thanks again.

I was looking online to purchase a shop manual. I ran across a website that will sell one on a CD as a PDF file. The price seemed too good to be true. The service manual covered all years of the C5. I was wondering if anyone has purchased one from this vendor. If so, is it an actual...

Good points -all Makes sense to me. I was in the garage today doing a little more troubleshooting. I was looking at the access panel on the driver side inner fender and it looked to me like some sort of brake/hydraulic fluid. Thinking it possibly was coming from the master cylinder, I...

Will Check Once I get the car in for repairs, will have them check everything out as you guys suggested. I realize there is no direct correlation between mileage/parts failure, so while everything is apart, you are right - get all the peripherals checked out. It will be several weeks before...

As I Feared kind of what I thought. Thanks for response. I only have 40k on the car and the car has never been dogged, so I don't believe I'll plan on replacing the clutch. If I had to do all that, I believe I'd trade it in as is. I'll troubleshoot a little more this w/e, but at this...
