Just a question. What is an auto doing in a Z-51?

At least you know your vette is far better looking and handles better then the TA. The TA is from the same people that brought you the AZTEK.

Help, I have an 88 and there are only two inputs to the transmission. One in for the backup switch and the other is at the second gear switch. I disconnected the second gear switch and put a wire across the terminals of the wiring harnesses. The overdrive engaged in first gear and every...

I have a couple of tips that may prove useful. Ever since I have owned the car I have had water leaks near the front of the side windows. Bending the tabs on the top did not help. Two months ago I put dielectric grease on the weather stripping. I haven’t had a drop on water come in the car...

Thanks RubyDropTop, Take care, Bill.

If you could , 1G1YY2186J5118871 Thanks a lot. Bill

Thank you. I will check it this weekend. I think I should make sure the shift rods are in proper alignment. When they replaced the clutch they opened up the side plate to repair a leak at one of the shift rods. They may have screwed up the alignment.

Thanks Rich, What exactly does the rod do? I see no explanation in the shop manual. How does this relate to the other gears?

Hi, I must have missed something. I have had the same problem with my shifting since I had the clutch replaced. I have been going nuts bleeding the system to the point of pulling the system out as one peace and bleeding it that was. The only way it came close to working was by not using the...

Yes I have replaced the master. The length of the rod and the body are the same as the old unit. That’s why I am wondering if the fluid capacity is the same. I know I am reaching.

Hay Mike, How are the pedals on your 88? Is there a difference in distance between the brake pedal and clutch pedal?

Thanks Mike, Yes I did bleed it with the bleeder valve up. After that I would push the piston back in and remount the slave. Of course the fluid would come out of the reservoir.

Mine are not even close. I checked the support bracket and looked to see if anything was adjustable. There is nothing adjustable and the support bracket is fine. If you detach the master from the pedal you might get an extra half-inch closer to the brake pedal.

I think that answers the question. In other cars that I have driven with manuals, the brake and clutch peals are about the same distance from the floor when not in use. Mine is much closer to the floor then the brake pedal when not pressed. I just don’t remember if this is normal with my car. I...

Thanks 69MyWay, I never thought about opening up the line at the top. After replacing the master I just bled the system the regular way. I was under the car and someone was pressing the pedal. It looked like the fluid was ok. Since I replaced the master the pedal does return. I have a...

Hi, I am having a problem with my clutch hydraulics. Last year I replaced the slave on my clutch because it looked like it was losing fluid. Shortly after that my clutch went. I had the clutch replaced. Shortly after I was hearing screeching noises from the clutch and it was hard to...

If you want to see a picture of a C4 with the lights, look at the online Eckler’s catalog under lighting. I haven’t seen a C4 areo kit that looks good. They all looked tacked on. Bill.

Hello Henri, It all comes down to this. What do you want? Can you live with an auto? When you wake up the next day will you regret not getting a manual? It sounds like a command decision. Good luck.

I looked up the specs on the later cars, and none of the base cars have 13” rotors. Even the current 2002 do not have them. Bill.

Hi, The Z-51 option from 1988 on had 13” front rotors and the backs were 12”. The ZR1 also had the same rotors. But you could not get the Z-51 option on the ZR1. The larger brakes make a difference only under hard use. But they also look cool. Bill
