dealer cracked it,ouch Thanks for the reply. I read the post you mentioned, which was excellent. And since I needed to get the Vette inspected anyway today, I went to the local Chevy dealer. I mentioned the mirror problem and one of the mechanics decided he'd pop it back into place...

Hi everybody, The side view mirror on the passengers side has popped out and I'm having a little trouble popping it back into place and didn't want to force it. There's a little metal horizontal bar (about an inch or so long) that looks like it should just pop into a black plastic shaped tube...

I also had reverse issues. Which were solved by draining (not flushing) the gear fluid. The following link tells what I went through. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54444 Hope you find it helpful. -Steve

Hey Joe and the rest of the gang, Thanks for replying. I have a follow up story to my reverse issues. I had my local chevy dealer drain both the ATF fluid and the regular gear fluid. I insisted that they did not "flush" the system. I had this done couple of weeks ago and I can't believe it...

Hey Len, The car was my father's pride and joy. He only sold it to me to make room for a brand new one (lucky me :)...and him). He's only had the dealership service it and has kept it all original. How do you "jump out" the switch on the overdrive unit-do you have to open up the tranny case...

thank you for the replies. A mechanic at the chevy Dealer said he'd have to take the tranny apart to see what was going on too. I guess I'll just hang tight and live with it for now. I just hope I don't get in a situation where it finally stops going into reverse at all. I will try to shut...

Hi everyone, I get this point of resistance as I try to engage reverse. If I push through it I get a not so nice clunk/crunch sound. If I play with the clutch, or shake the shifter in nuetral, and or go to first and second once or twice I eventually get into reverse smoothly. Of course...
