    Power Sport Seat repair

    The sport power seat on the drivers side of my car did not work for all adjustments. Some did not respond at all and others ground the gears and moved a little. I saw an ad at Eckers that you could buy a refurbished power seat track and bought one. I mention this here because some of you may...

    Horsepower in a C5 or C6

    The LT4 is only rated at 330 HP but there have been numerous posts here revealing that dyno tests show the average HP for a stock LT4 at around 360 with a high of 390. Does this same under rating apply also to the C5 or 6? If they are also under rated, what do they usually run?

    Convertible or Coupe - Which is best?

    I have always favored the convertable, because I love the top down ride but so many more buy the coup I have wondered what the appeal is. So, if I buy a new corvette, which is better and why?

    Ink Removal from Seat

    I just returned from a trip and discovered that my daughter doodled all over the back of the fawn colored passanger seat with a blue ball point pen. I have tried 409 but had no luck. What can I use to remove the ink? HELP! :cry

    Carpet on Lower Dash

    I have a '96 LT4 convertible and it has carpet on the lower dash on the driver's side but not on the passenger's side. Should there by carpet on both sides? :Steer

    Clutch

    I understand that the corvette has an hydraulic self-adjusting clutch. My fluid level is full - checked and added a little to bring it back to the full mark this week. I would like to hear from others on where your clutch engages and how close to the top of pedal travel is your clutch fully...

    replacement for broken latch on keyfob?

    No, I ordered mine from Elco Chevrolet in Ballwin, MO. They told me this week that Chevrolet is out of them and has gone back to the manufacturer to get more. I have no idea how long this will take. :confused

    Engine Temp/ Wheels want to buy.

    Thanks for the info. I was just worrying about that yesterday where my digital readout was up to 220 in stop and go traffic and 90 degree heat. The most it would cool to was around 212. I am just a tad below 100K miles and just had the radiator flushed and coolent replaced. I was thinking I had...

    C4 advantages over C5?

    I have a '96 that came with the Spare Tire Delete Option, so I am in the same situation as the C5 and have the run-flat tires. Lucky for me, the previous owner had replaced all the tires just before selling it.

    replacement for broken latch on keyfob?

    I have one that barely hangs together for my '96 and just ordered a second one from Chevrolet ($160), which is on backorder while they look for one. Like yours, my back comes off, but stays together when I press them back together. The button on the front, however, is broken and I don't know how...

    center console lid button

    Mine latch is broken so the button doesn't control anything. I don't miss it, I just lift up on the lid to open it and don't worry about the button anymore.

    alternator heating up why???

    And right you are, it turns out the noise is not the alternator but a pulley in the belt system. Too bad it isn't simple where you can just grease it. No one has it in stock, so Chevrolet is overnighting it. Thanks for the response.

    alternator heating up why???

    Would an alternater having trouble due to heat emit a high pitched noise? I have noticed that driving down the street I get the noise reflected back to me and it is tied to RPM, but within a specific RPM range. The voltage is okay on the gages. Has anyone else experienced this type of noise...

    How to find out your car`s last owner?

    If you are looking for the original dealer - the one the car was sent to by the factory, you can order a copy of your window sticker from the National Corvette Museum. They have all for corvettes built in Bowling Green and some from those that were built in St. Louis. You can also get a copy of...

    4 + 3 transmission

    I've never driven a vette with a 4 + 3 transmission. Those of you who have one, I'm curious to know what you think of it and how you use that overdrive setup most? :bu :bu :bu

    The Wave

    Everyone should just keep waving. Eventually, an ignorant first time corvette owner will ask why everyone keeps waving at them and they will then know. Either that, or they will realize that only other corvette drivers are waving and the idea will enter their brain. So, wave folks. The one...

    Clutch Adjustment?

    Thanks for the answer. I suspected there might not be a manual adjustment available in an automatically adjusting system.
